The Tooth Fairy

This tooth had been wiggling for weeks. It was dangling and had worked itself in a 180 degree rotation. It needed to come out.



She looked in every mirror, then got very busy with the matter of preparing a lovely display of fairy bites (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches), the silver container which held the prized tooth, and nice sign. (You can double-click the image to see it full-size.)



We sat there for a moment and pondered what the tooth fairy does with all these teeth from kids around the world. Ella thought about it: "Well, that's easy. No matter where a kid comes from, their teeth look the same. She uses them to build her white sparkly castle." So it was only fitting that she added a contribution of her two favorite (and corresponding) silly bands, along with peace, love & happiness.



The next morning, I woke her up and she dug under her pillow.

"I'M RICH!!!" she squealed as she pulled two singles out and held them up in the air.

The sandwiches were nibbled. The bracelets and the tooth were gone.
Then Ella went pale as she noticed the thin layer of pink glitter sprinkled across her nightstand.

Ella, Both Aunt Terri and I know that you were such a brave little girl and so happy that you feel you are rich. For we are the ones who are rich just from having you in our family and your love.

Aunt Terri and Uncle Greg

At first I thought that was Ella whining and then I realized that it was Carson. He was afraid Ella was hurt. How brave of Ella....how sweet of Carson. Two sweet kids!
