All he wants for Christmas…
Adam’s two front teeth couldn’t fall out fast enough for him. He was so anxious to leave them under his pillow to await a visit from the tooth fairy.
The first tooth came out, he placed it under his pillow and went to bed without any hesitation. The next morning, I woke him for school as I always do, and he immediately slipped his hand under his pillow and pulled out $2.00. His remark was “That’s it?!?”
Now, he’s six, what six year old complains about $2.00? I used to get a quarter, maybe two! I asked him, “What did you expect?” He responds “Five dollars!” I know all about inflation and the cost of living going up each year but five dollars a tooth?
This coming from a kid that used to think that if you had two pennies it was more money than one quarter!
