Upon Losing Her First Tooth
Janie, are you going to put your tooth under your pillow tonight?
"Yes I am, and the Tooth Fairy is going to bring me money."
Wow! How much money do you think? Maybe a quarter?
"Or a dollar."
Hmm, are you going to buy me something with your new money?
"Yes, I will. What do you want?"
Maybe some gum?
"Ok then, I'll buy you and my mom presents when I get the money."
I'm not sure that a dollar is going to buy a present for me and a present for your mom.
"Well, I'll buy you some gum and my mom can have...some rocks."
**********
Bonus "Conversation with Janie" - as told to me by her mom.
[Setting: driving in the car]
Janie: I am SO hungry.
[Silence]
Janie: My stomach is GROWLING.
[farts]
Janie: Oh man--now my butt is growling!
Comments
Janie is going to be so *proud* when she's old enough to track down these stories.... Of course she'll get her revenge someday when you're old and gray. Heaven knows where the stories of your escapades in the old folks home will end up?!?
