Herself lost a tooth yesterday. Who knew children kept losing baby teeth for so long? This morning she came into us to announce that the tooth fairy had not come. “Perhaps he will come today,” I said. She looked at Mr. Waffle with a sapient eye as he dragged himself out of bed and said, “I think the tooth fairy is trudging to his work, even now.”
I got this email from her during the day.
From: Herself
To: Me
Re: Don’t go getting ideas.This is blatantly unacceptable.
Does there come a time where one is just a smidgen too sophisticated for the tooth fairy?
Mmm maybe if you were not so forgetful you would remember baby tooth loss well into secondary school
Snarky.
