Tooth Fairy Please Stay Away



In other news Sabine finally lost her first tooth. It was hanging in there for many weeks but finally came out at dinner. Riveting. Anyhoo, at bedtime there were tears from both Sabine and George. George was afraid of the tooth fairy. "How big is she? How will she get in? What if I see her?" Sabine didn't want to give up 'a piece of myself'. In the end a compromise was achieved whereby I would pay Sabine two dollars, she would keep the tooth forever and give George one of the dollars and everyone would just go to sleep.
Poppy Mark has suggested that the tooth could be made into a necklace as is traditionally done with shark teeth. The gag photo is for the amusement of Poppy Mark . Apologies to everyone else.
