July 20: The Whole Tooth and Nothing But...Twice

The Tooth Fairy is feeling a little pain in the pocketbook this evening as she makes her way into our house to exchange the goods. That's because my daughter lost two of her baby teeth today. That's right, two in one day! And, within just hours of each other. I'd never seen anything like it before. The first came out when she was eating some nutless banana bread of all things, and the second one followed shortly after while she was chewing some bubble gum. Thank God it stopped there or else I would have probably rushed her up to emergency thinking she had some sort of virus that was attacking her gums. Per her last dentist visit, she still has two more that are quite loose and likely on the verge of falling out. At this rate, the tooth fairy is going to have to take out a personal loan just to fulfill her end of the bargain. And, here, I thought college was going to be the big expense for my kids.
