If I didn’t know better, I might suspect that Lucy is doing it for the Tooth Fairy money. . .

On Tuesday, the Carpinteria Homeschoolers (Norby’s –2, Theule’s – 2, Allen’s –2, Kitt’s – 4) took a field trip to City Hall and the Sheriff’s Station.  They got to see the inside of the holding cell and have a mock City Council meeting.  Max was the mayor and Lucy’s proposed resolution was defeated soundly.

Near the end, one of the City employees had kindly given Lucy a shell like the one below.

Lucy was running down the hallway and tripped, smacking her mouth into the seashell she had in her hand.  Needless to say, there were blood and tears everywhere.  And when she was cleaned up, it was discovered that she had a new hole in her mouth and a big fat lip.
