Will Work for Food

Tyson has had a loose tooth for weeks now. I've been encouraging him to wiggle it because it had a chip in it, was turning grey, and was making his smile lopsided. Anytime he wiggled it he would complain that it hurt and stop.
Last night, we were at my parent house for dinner. Tyson had already finished his dinner and had eaten seconds.
He asked me if he could have another piece of ham.
Jokingly I told him that he could have the ham if he pulled his tooth out.
He immediately went to work on that tooth.
I was amazed.
He pulled and wiggled and twisted it very intently.
His gums started to bleed, but he was not deterred.
A few moments later his tooth popped out.
After a quick drink of water he claimed his prize:

That must have been some good ham!
