Alson and his tooth

This was what my mum told me a couple of days ago... Alson had a loose tooth which had to be plucked out. When his dad brought him to the dentist, the dentist charged $20 for telling him that the tooth can be extracted at home. As the tooth was very loose, my mum decided to help Alson remove it. On the same day when my dad came home, he put Alson's extracted tooth into a small zip-lock bag for him to keep. The next day, Alson brought his tooth to his kindergarten class to show off to his classmates. However he lost it during the course of the day and was quite upset about it when my mum went to fetch him from his lessons. On the way home, he asked my mum, "Auntie how? Can pluck out another tooth for me?"

Apparently the pain of not being able to show off his tooth to people outweighs the pain he experiences when a tooth is extracted.
