He was spitting, moaning, writhing, the whole 9 yards. I found B in the laundry room surrounded by detergent pods, and he told me that he ate one, and THEN he acted like he was going to vomit while I was on the phone with Poison Control. Just in case this post sounded like a humblebrag, you should know that the whole conversation with Chicken about how his body was not for sale happened when I picked Chicken up early from school yesterday, not because his tooth fell out, but because I was on my way to the emergency room with Buster. You can decline to sell it if you want to. Have a great day everybody, and remember: It’s your body. Instead of leaving me your tooth under your pillow, could you please leave me a picture or poem? I love your artwork so much. If it’s okay with you, I’d like to visit when you lose teeth to give you a small gift. So here’s a gift to celebrate YOU, Chicken! You’re growing into a kind, creative, curious, very special person. It’s my job (and your mom’s and dad’s and Nana’s and Grandma’s and Papa’s and Granddaddy’s job) to let you know that even when something new, strange, or scary happens, we are all proud of you and cheering you on! Go, Chicken! Growing up is hard work, and sometimes it feels strange or scary, just like losing that first tooth. I love my job because as the Tooth Fairy, I get to give kids a small gift to say congratulations and keep up the good work. I’m going to tell you a little secret, Chicken. I support you 100% and I would never take your tooth without your permission. You’re absolutely right: your teeth are a part of your body, which belongs to you. I’m very proud of you for telling me that you want to hold onto your teeth. When a new grown-up tooth will grow into that gap, you’ll know that you’re growing up.Īnother way you’ll know you’re growing up is the way you make decisions about your own body. Perfect wiggling form, excellent persistence, and when that tooth came out on the playground, you were ready for it. That first tooth can be a little scary or strange, and you handled it beautifully. And this is what the Tooth Fairy wrote to him in return:Ĭongratulations on your first tooth! Wow, that happened fast!
