He's so happy though. He was so exciting about getting a loose tooth, I guess because some of his friends at school have already lost teeth. "This means I'm going to be 6 soon!" he was telling me on the way in to ESP this morning.
Ah, to be 6 again!
I remember losing my first tooth. I was 5 and waiting in line at school to go to morning assembly. Standing in Ms. Thompson's classroom that morning, I was so excited and proud to sport my new snaggle-toothed grin. :-D
Life was simpler back then, huh?
Unfortunately, Zeke misplaced his tooth somewhere on the living room carpet tonight (not long after I told him to be careful not to lose it), so I'm going to have to try and find it before I vacuum. I told him he was going to have to wait until tomorrow night to put it under his pillow, and while somewhat disappointed, he took the news pretty well.
So after 27 years of inflation, what's the going rate for a tooth these days anyway?
Oh well. Better go look for that tooth so that I--I mean the Tooth Fairy--can do her job! ;-)
I think a dollar is plenty of money for a tooth, I think I got 25 cents for mine.
ReplyDeleteThat's what Hubby and I remember getting (or the equivalent of, in my case). We thought about doing something a little different though. I had a $2 bill lying around, not sure where I got it from, but it would make for a unique gift. It's odd enough that he might be convinced it came from the Tooth Fairy!
