the gray tooth

A few weeks ago Lucy fell whilst in the bathtub and hit her mouth....hard.
She cried for a long time and the pain stayed with her for days.
Now, as you can plainly see, she has a gray tooth.
What does this mean?
Will it heal and turn white again?
Is it dead?
Will it fall out sooner than normal?
No one knows the outcome of "the gray tooth."
Having only turned five a few weeks ago,
and if the normal tooth fall out schedule is adhered to,
Lucy could have a gray tooth for a long while yet.
And even more horrifying...
what if it turns black and stays in?
We have assured her that our love will not be affected by this malady.
As for Lucy....
she could care less.
Life is a wonderful, exciting place,
not affected in the least by the color of her tooth.
