Coming Out

Owen lost his first baby tooth last night. It showed up when he was about 10 months old and I think it served him well. He was over the moon about the thought of the Tooth Fairy. At 5:40 am this morning O came into our room pretty disappointed that his fairy only left him a lousy buck. Bill and I were suddenly alert, what do you mean? what did you expect? O informs us that his friend Tyler recieved 64 crayons from his fairy! Oh. Well, how much were you expecting? O- at least 2 bucks, 2 quarters, a couple of dimes and some pennies. No nickles. Hmmm. I told him maybe his Tooth Fairy pays by the size of the tooth. He had to admit his tooth was pretty worn down and rough looking. When I was telling Shelly about how lame our Tooth Fairy was she bragged to me that her kid's Tooth Fairy usually leaves at least 2 dollars that have been ironed crisp (seriously, she irons the money!) or a couple of silver dollars. Woo. Woo. I am guessing that Lar's fairy probably leaves something cool behind like Hermit crabs or Beta fish. I'm thinking our Tooth Fairy is going to have to kick it up a notch!
