you lost your first tooth!

It was so loose for so long. Today at church it seemed all the other kids your age had missing teeth to display, and after everyone had gone you asked your Dad to pull it out. He did! It bled some (very distressing for you) but then you had the tooth out of your mouth and dollar signs in your eyes.

The tooth fairy did not fail you; she brought you a dollar, a note, and a blue sparkle pen, which she left in the pocket of your special tooth fairy pillowcase that my mother made a few years ago for this very purpose. Strangely, the tooth fairy FORGOT to take your tooth! I told you she was like this -- she forgot to retrieve several of your big brother's teeth too.
