Numero Five-o

My daughter lost her 5th tooth recently.  Soon my daughter will have no teeth left to lose. That will be a sad day, but it will also be a very good day for my pocketbook.  I mean...the Tooth Fairy's pocketbook.

It was a biggie this time - a front tooth!

Eva carefully crafted her request to the Fairy of the Night.  (Hmmm...maybe that's not a good nickname for the Tooth Fairy.)  I'll work on that.

 In case you're wondering why my daughter was biting my sweater, let me explain.  I DON'T KNOW! She's been on a kick recently where she bites my clothes and thrashes around like a dog with a rag doll.  I don't get it and I don't like it.  Hence, my 'yanking' of the sweater from her jaws.

Of course, my little princess went ahead and asked for Zotz - only the most impossible candy to find unless you live near a quaint drugstore in small-town Idaho.  Which I don't.  Hence, the Cuspid Collector had to improvise. (Hmmm...maybe that's not a good nickname either.)

Kitty didn't seem to mind that she didn't get the Zotz.  After all, she scored 7 quarters! Later that afternoon I told Kitty we could spend her wealth at the quarter machines in the mall.  First, I had to quickly help someone move.  Well, that quickly turned into a 3 hour project.  Kitty was very patient even though she was dying to spend her loot.  One of the guys helping with the move was impressed with Kitty's tolerance and gave her 6 more quarters to add to her stash.  My kitty was able to spend 13 quarters on the machines in the mall. 13!

I didn't tell her that she spent $3.25 on approximately 80¢ worth of candy.  I'm just happy Kitty felt like she hit the jackpot. 

That Weirdo with Wings sure knows how to make a kid happy.

Hmmm...now that's a nickname.
