The Tooth Fairy . . . to be or not to be . . .


Carson recently lost his 2 bottom teeth. He is quickly catching up with his 11 year-old brother, Ian, who has only lost 4 teeth so far!

Grandma Joannie finished Carson's tooth pillow in the nick of time. The night of the first lost tooth, Carson put his tooth into the tooth pillow and walked up to his dad saying . . .

"Dad, you're the tooth fairy!"

"What? No. Why do you say that, Carson?" Aaron tried to look serious but was a bit flustered by his 5-year-old's accusation.

"People don't have wings!"

Aaron was silent.

Then, Ian, who I remind you is 11-years-old, said, "No, humans don't have wings, Carson, but fairies, nymphs, and other creatures do."

Carson looked confused and went to bed where he quickly went to sleep. He awoke, happy to find $2, no longer caring if the money came from his wingless father or from the winged nymphs of Ian's imagination.

Seriously, nymphs? Ha, I'm dying here. What a well educated household you're overseeing down there, Ness.

I LOVE that tooth pillow! Don't you love when someone else can step in and take the pressure off you! Good answer Ian:)!
