A Non-believer

This last weekend we went to Sesame Place.  It was fun, but more on that later.  The interesting thing is that N asked a really hard question.  She asked if the characters are real or are they just people in the costumes.  She thought that they were just people in costumes. 

Then we were listening to a program in which an author was saying that the tooth fairy and so on were 100% real and that he had been researching them for the past 20 years.  In fact they all even had email addresses.  When he was finished, N just said that he was crazy and making every it all up.  I have a non-believer.  How could I have a non-believer, I do not understand it. 


On the one hand, I do not want to mislead her.  However, I do not want her not to believe either.  How did I get such a logical kid.  I blame her Mother!

Tooth Fairy Update

I forgot one very important thing. After the tooth fell out, Z told me that I needed to start to suck my thumb now. The reason being that it tastes better when you have a missing tooth. Yesterday morning when she woke up, she was more excited about asking me if my thumb tasted good during the night then the stove that I made for them or the fact that the Tooth Fairy came. Made me smile.

A special kind of club

Sitting down at breakfast yesterday morning, my tongue felt a rough spot on a tooth in the back of the mouth. I ignored it, since I have a dentist appointment in a couple of weeks. Unconsciously I was still playing with it. I did not notice that I was until I felt something move. Of course it was the tooth. With very little assistance, a gigantic filling came out. It is not too shocking, I do have really crappy teeth.

The girls thought that this was great, especially Z. They determined that I was now a member of a special club- The Missing Tooth Club. Z is a member, so is Grandma and a friend of theirs in Texas. I feel honored to be a member. I am hoping that I am not a member for very long though. The lucky thing for me is that it is one of my back teeth. All the other members (that we know of course, we are ignoring everyone else). have one of their front teeth missing. Plus I am hoping not to be a member too long. The dentist is booked for the first part of next week.

It was determined that the Tooth Fairy would be coming. The only issue is that in Sweden they do it a little differently. They place the tooth in a glass of water and then in the morning coins will be in there and the tooth is still there. I thought that we should wait until M gets home, but Z would not have anything to do with that. It had to be last night. My favorite thing about the missing tooth though has to be the words of wisdom by Z- "You can either save the money or you can spend it on anything you want" (the last part was in a greedy little voice.
