This morning Ayla lost another tooth while eating her breakfast. It’s been wiggly for days now and Evren graciously offered to yank it out of her mouth himself (sincerely) earlier in the week, but Ayla said “no thanks.”
Ayla has gotten the talk about Santa and his friends Mr. Easter Bunny and Miss Tooth Fairy. So, she knows.
On the way to school this morning, we were chatting about it and I told her, “Well, tonight you can put your tooth under your pillow and get some money from the *wink* tooth fairy to go towards your iPod. (She’s saving for an iPod.)
She was happy and then had a instant thought that I think just came out of her mouth.
Ayla: “Mom? If the tooth fairy isn’t real, then do the parents have all their children’s teeth somewhere?”
Jenn: “Yep, we sure do!”
(with genuine surprise) “WHAT THE?!?”
(not the answer she was expecting?)
Jenn: “Sure, after school, if you want, I can show you your box of teeth.”
Ayla: “Awesome.”
