Caroline lost her first tooth. Nice little gaping hole in the front of her lower set. She was slightly traumatized by it until we explained that this was all a perfectly normal part of growing up, and also told her the whole thing about the Tooth Fairy. Then her eyes lit up. “I’ll have my OWN MONEY?” she said. So now’s she’s jazzed. I suspect we’ll have a fairly easy time getting her to go to bed tonight.
I always thought the best Tooth Fairy riff was Dan Slott’s, back when Dan was writing “Ask Doctor Stupid” for the “Ren and Stimpy” comic. One kid asked the fictional answer man, “What does the Tooth Fairy do with all the teeth she’s collected from me?” Dan’s reply: “Well, Timmy, actually the Tooth Fairy is using all those teeth to build another you. So be careful, because once she has all your teeth…she’s coming for your eyes.”
