Toothless

Kalissa lost her first tooth yesterday and boy what an EXCITING day it was! She lost it while eating her cookie at lunch.


"The lunch lady was so nice to me mom, she gave me an Easter Egg to put it in and told me to ask the Tooth Fairy for a million dollars."


(Since when do children get to ask the Tooth Fairy for anything?)

"Are you going to put it under your pillow?" I asked wondering to myself what tradition the Tooth Fairy should start with the children. Maybe she'll write '1 million dollars' on a piece of paper and place it under her pillow. She could get away with that right now.

"I'm not putting it under my pillow. I am taking it to Utah to show Grandma before the Tooth Fairy takes it. If I put it in my drawer will she take it?" Obviously very concerned that it would be gone if she didn't lay on it for protection.

"I don't think she takes them unless they are under pillows," I assured her.

"What does she do with all the teeth?"

"Collects them and puts her favorite on the wall," I suggested.

"I don't think she does that, Mom!"

"I guess will never know then."


I am wondering if the Tooth Fairy will ever end up with it. It is apparently a very cherished possession.
