Slow News Day

[Hopkirk]

How does this qualify as a top story?

A baby having a tooth out

Wow, now that is news! My top story for today is that it is dry and sunny and I have just hung out my washing.

[Hopkirk]

It's like Groundhog Day.

It's hot and dry. Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are both in the mire. Tell me something new.

[Old_Geezer]

Well it was born with it. As human interest stories go, having an extraction so young isn't something you necessarily know happens.

i think she was lucky to get to see a dentist before she started school

[david small]

Stop the press, I’ve dropped me toast....

[maggiebee]

"it" OG? Should that not have been she?

[jackthehat]

To be honest, it *is* an unusual occurence.

And it makes a pleasant change from the usual diet of doom infesting the front pages of the 'papers...

[Old_Geezer]

Do teeth have gender ?

[TheChair]

It's in the Devon/local News section of BBC News.
So it's not being treated as a top story.

The Chair, it's been in their top ten news items on the website all day...so i would say it is. I agree with jth though, it is unusual and at least not grim news which I see far too much of.

I guess it could have made Breast Feeding a risky business.

[ummmm]

Not really, Tashi.

[dannyk13]

My first son had a tooth while he was still being breast fed.No problem.

[ummmm]

Mine had loads of teeth while I was still breast feeding.

[Tashi]

Distinct lack of humour at the moment.

[ummmm]

I didn't realise it was a joke.

[dannyk13]

Nothing really to indicate that it was a joke.
