Tooth Fairy

Gavin lost his first tooth in a very long time. He has a huge fear of losing teeth, so much so that he has one that refuses to come out and has just pushed itself back behind the permanent tooth. So he looks like a shark. 

Yesterday he lost a tooth he hadn't even mentioned was loose while eating a carrot at Vacation Bible School.  When I picked him up he was smiling like a lunatic so I knew something was up because he was not happy to spend a whole week at VBS. It was then I noticed the missing tooth.

He asked me if dad and I were the tooth fairy.  I replied as I always do, "What do you think?"  Gavin: "She has to be, because how could you and dad get under my pillow without waking me up?'  I replied, "How do you think the tooth fairy gets under your pillow?"  Gavin: "She is magic she just goes through the pillow."

Later that night Gavin shows me a letter he wrote to the tooth fairy, of which I laughed my ass off:

"Dear Tooth Fairy,
Hi. I've not seen you in a while. (Or have I???) I want to know are you real? Plz tell me...

What a little smart ass?  I mean am I right?! I am most certain he just enjoys playing with us. 

It was so clever that I signed it T.F. and wrote "A magician never reveals secrets"  in the smallest cursive writing possible. 

His reply in the morning: Thank you :)
