Toothless Wonder

Megan finally lost her first tooth this morning on the way to school in the car. Its been wiggly for weeks but it finally popped out this morning with no problems at all.

Megan was so chuffed. Kaylin looked at her, pointed to the gap and said "Toof Broken". Heehee

What is the toothfairy's going rate for a first tooth these days?

Needless to say our toothfairy drives a Ferarri and lives in a mansion in Sandton - Megan got R40 for her teeny weeny toof.

Conversation last night with Megan:

Megan: "Teacher was telling me there is a Tooth Mouse too."

Me: "Yes Megan. There is a tooth fairy and tooth mouse". (I grew up only knowing the Tooth Fairy)

Megan: "I wonder which one will come visit me?". *pondering pause*

Megan : "Mum, which one do you think is richer?"

Me: "Why Megan?"

Megan: "Well, I want lots of money for my tooth".

*Me trying hard not to giggle* (I instantly saw the half Scot in her)

Me: "Who knows Megan...depends on how good you've been. You might only get one rand or so and only be able to buy a sweetie or packet of crisps or something".

Megan thinking again looking a little disappointed...

Megan: "I think the Tooth Fairy has the most money"

A whole conversation progressed about where The Tooth Fairy keeps her money thats she's collected and what she does with all her teeth she collects. Megan thinks she builds herself a castle.

I just love the innocence of it all. Its fun to make up imaginary stories for your kids to believe in and having long and detailed discussions with them. Its awesome!

(Unfortunately it doesn't last long and it will come faster than I can blink - reality will do the disappointing)
