The Tooth Fairy Cometh!


Dylan's teeth are dropping like flies. He has lost four teeth already. And, God bless his innocence, he still believes in the tooth fairy. He was very intrigued to fine a loonie under his pillow after he lost his first tooth. It came in a special "tooth fairy box" with a small note from his fairy named "Silver". Dylan remarked that he was more interested in gaining new knowledge about the tooth fairy rather than receiving money. So, with his next tooth, a correpondance began between him and Silver. Notes were exchanged and he learned all sorts of information (such as why his tooth box has a bar code and a "made in China" mark). Everything was explained to his satisfaction. I think he was challenged on this beliefs in class the next day (he came home wanting further explanations) but after some discussion he was more than happy to hang on to his dream about tooth fairies (and his childhood innocence) a little longer.
