The Tooth of the matter is...

...it's gone!

H1 lost her first baby tooth a couple of weeks ago and now the adjacent tooth too is shaky. H1 was pretty shaken when her first tooth started wobbling but the promise of the arrival of the Tooth Fairy and the riches she would leave made her a bit calm.

When we asked her what she would buy with the money she said, "I want a lollipop!' (There goes the new tooth!)

Once the tooth fell, H1 carefully wrapped it in a tissue and saved it till Hubby got home to show him. After examining it, he promptly misplaced it! Of cause we didn't tell H1 that. We told her we'll keep it under her pillow once she fell asleep.

The Tooth Fairy did arrive and leave a twenty rupee note under the pillow. You have to forgive her, you know, what with the recession and all. It was enough to buy a lollipop with after all.

Now, H1 is eagerly waiting for the next tooth to fall off to buy another lollipop.

  4. Hi,

    There's a new movie called "The Tooth Fairy" with 'The Rock' acting in it. It's hilarious. You and your daughter should get together and watch it as it comes out! She'll love it.
