Don't Choke!

We were at the hobby store browsing for nerd things.  Kitty was milling around and chewing on a Tootsie Roll. I was strolling up and down the aisles wondering just how long my nerd family would make me loiter in the hobby store.  Michael was somewhere in the abyss cataloging a lengthy list of all the things he wanted to take home.  

Suddenly, Kitty approached with a look of awe on her face. Barely containing the excess saliva in her mouth produced by the Tootsie Roll, she called out and showed me this beauty:

Her tooth was yanked right out of her gums by the sticky candy!  She didn't even know it was loose.  In fact, the tooth that she has been rocking back and forth for weeks is still securely planted in her face. How's that for luck? 

Well, there was nothing left to do but call for the Tooth Fairy.  And very humbly ask for anything.  But...if you really want to make a kitty happy, bring her that very specific nerd thing she saw at the hobby store.  But only if you really want to.  (I love the asterisk on her note.  She asked for anything and then rethought that statement.) 

Unfortunately, the Tooth Fairy didn't oblige.  You see, the Tooth Fairy had already purchased a toy in preparation for the actual loose tooth.  She's trying to stay on top of the recent deluge of teeth.  

But even without the hobby store item, Kitty was excited and *pleased.

*But she still really wants that nerd toy.
