Weeks, and weeks went on and it seemed like it would never happen. I tried to convince her to do it herself, even offered to do it for her, but i knew i could not. Yes our first tooth did not want to come out. Finally i picked her up at school one day and yes...this tooth which was as small as a match tip was wadded up in a school paper towel. The fun begins. Let us prepare this for the tooth fairy...Sara says "Daddy, what does the tooth fairy look like?" I tell her" well no one has actually ever seen the tooth fairy for sure. We do not know what he or she looks like"
So she now has a mission. "i am going to see. i will be the first" ok...no problem
So the morning after the tooth was placed under the pillow and replaced by four dollars i got the scoop. Yes the details of the tooth fairy which i can only quote to the best of my knowledge were as follows: " Daddy, i seen the tooth fairies"...."tooth fairies" i say. "Yes, there were five of them all with little wings. They were only about 3 inches tall 2 were boys and 3 were girls. One took the tooth and the other four each had a dollar they put under my pillow. They rang their bell and then they were gone" "Wow" i said..."did they see you look" "Nope, i had only one eye open".
I wish we all still had a little of a childs imagination. Priceless.
