My Eva girl lost another tooth! It was extraordinarily loose and started bleeding when Michael was brushing her teeth one night. I told her I wanted to look at it and she adamantly instructed me NOT to pull it out. I sweetly gave her the ‘ol, “I’m not pulling it out, I’m just wiping the blood away,” routine.
And then I yanked that baby out.
Of course it was nearly 9:00 at night and I didn’t have a darn thing in my cupboards for the tooth fairy to leave for Eva. So I asked my man servant to run to Walgreens and get, “One pack of gum and one York peppermint patty.”
He thought I said, “Get the most expensive gum you can find, a York peppermint patty, and then augment the loot with a toy and more candy.”
Eva was thrilled by the tooth fairy’s generosity.
Mama was less thrilled. In fact, Mama is going to send her man servant to have his hearing checked.
Did you hear that, man servant?!
Well, the tooth fairy knows just how to please a five year old. Good thing she has her undercover agents walking around among us disguised as ordinary computer programmers. Her work goes on with total success.
