We tried string last weekend

After quite a bit of convincing, I managed to convince him to let me tie a string on it.

It kept falling off.  On about the 10th attempt, I finally got a nice tight knot in it.  He refused to pull on it.  Then he said he wanted it off.  Of course, it wouldn't come off then.

I had to cut the string with my Leatherman, leaving being the loop around his tooth (but don't tell him that... he thought it was all gone.)

Then yesterday, driving to school, I looked back at him belting out the chorus of Hot Rod Mercury (such a great song...) and lo and behold, what did I notice missing?

He doesn't have the foggiest clue when or where it came out.

Crazy kid...
