I was in the second grade when I lost my first tooth. That tooth was real loose for a real long time--although I was a daredevil and adventurous, I was part chicken when it came to pain. Dad would try to get to it once in awhile because he got tired of me messing with and wiggling it all the time. I ,of course would clench my mouth shut and he of course would just leave me alone. They knew that eventually it would just fall out. Well, that did finally happen, the tooth was out. The tradition at the time was to put the tooth in a small glass and put a little water in it. The fairy would come and take the tooth and leave a few small coins. Although this is quite cheap compared to the dollars that the fairy gives now days, we could buy a larage full size candy bar for a nickle! Well as clever and precocious as I was, I told mom that I wanted to put the tooth under my pillow in case the tooth fairy wanted to give me some paper money it wouldn't get wet! I was quite serious, I was not trying to be funny (sometimes that just happens).
Mom convinced me to put it in the glass and of course I didn't get any paper money.

That's funny! My little kids would wonder why some of their friends get more money from the tooth fairy. Hannah has one friend whose tooth fairy give out $20!! I told them their tooth fairy must be rich. lol I swear, you and Hannah are cut from the same cloth.
ReplyDeleteFunny how that skipped a generation huh? I've known from the start that Hannah was a lot like me---except for the temper. I think her temper was becuse she was number four and she wanted to be heard, and boy was she ever! lol
ReplyDeleteIt probably has a lot to do with why i thought she was so darn funny!
how hillarious
ReplyDeleteI think so too, Sarah! I was sure thinking how to get more money, huh?/
