A story about teeth

I remember well the day Logan lost his first tooth.  We were so excited!!  The tooth fairy would get to visit, and this marked a milestone for my little guy.....fast forward to now.  I am on the fourth child who is starting to lose teeth, along with the other three who lose the big ones now (super gross!!)  I read that kids lose 20 teeth.  That's 20x5....100 teeth!!!  The tooth fairy was getting a little tired (and forgetful) about all these teeth.  She told me she was tired of trying to find teeth under pillows (especially on the top bunks), stepping on legos and trying to remember who actually lost the tooth.  So I came up with a wonderful solution.  The tooth box.  It sits on the kitchen table before bedtime and the tooth is deposited in the special bag inside.  In the morning the excited toothless child runs upstairs and checks what kind of goodies are inside.  Kolby recently got a dollar bill folded like a diamond.  It is awesome.  The tooth fairy is so excited about this too, she told me.  Beth

That is such a great idea!!!!!!!!! Recently Ali left a note for the tooth fairy asking what she does with the teeth. These kids are getting difficult!!!!!

Darn! I don't have any kids losing teeth anymore. I'll try to pass this idea on when I get grandkids.

Awesome! I am so doing this. Good thing I have a while until teeth start coming out.

Such a good idea.. Our tooth fairy did such a bad job that I finally just fired her.. told the kids to show me the tooth and get money out of my wallet! ha!
