the tooth

There were a lot of things as a parent that I was prepared for. I knew there would be tough questions down the line that I would have to answer. I knew there would be hurt feelings, bad grades and times when I knew I would have to be stern but all I really wanted to do was laugh.
I was not prepared for what occurred tonight. I was talking on the phone when I was interrupted by hysterical screaming and sobbing. I got off the phone only to yell at connell for whatever could possibly be the reason for this outburst. I think the below picture explains it all.



Apparently Connell had bit into a hot dog only to lose his top tooth in his food. So with two weeks left in my pregnancy and not feeling that great, I was stuck digging through chewed up hotdog searching for the missing tooth, because as all parents should know, "No tooth, no money." To say that Connell was hysterical is to put it mildly. Ice, Ice Cream, TV, and Sprite did not settle him down so we drafted this letter at his request. I feel certain that the Tooth Fairy will answer his letter just not sure what the appropriate amount the Tooth Fairy will bring.
