OK. My first instinct was to nominate this Dad as craziest Dad ever but then I thought that at least the guy’s engaged with his kid’s life and you know what, this kid will remember losing that tooth the rest of his life. I’m not saying I’d recommend pulling children’s teeth out via rocket but the kid seemed to enjoy it (after the really super frightened look that crossed his face.) Pretty funny vid though.

And if the tooth was too firmly affixed to the jaw and the rocket dragged the kid along the ground… or if a meteorite crashed into the rocket when the tooth was only half-pulled… or if the tooth came loose and broke somebody's window… what then, laughing dad? What then?

While the nay-sayers have a point- a pair of goggles or safety glasses would have been a wise idea- minimizing the risks will not remove them all. It is the calling of the father to expose his kid to the joys of life which often involve some risk. Awesome idea!!

To the nay-sayers: you can't live life without risks, and some of them make life more fun, and more worthwhile.
To those of you who think this father is a Bad Person: ask yourself how you differ from the people who are trying to create a Nanny State for us. (Hint: you don't.)
Great dad!
