Big Loss, Bigger Gain

Chiggie's top front tooth has been dangling for some time now. Apparently she just wasn't ready to let go. That is until last night. I came home from Bunco to see her waiting faithfully on the front porch. She smiled a gummy grin and I noticed right away. The space is huge. Definitely big enough for two teeth the size of the tooth she lost. We celebrated by jumping around wildly and laughing about her toothless grin. She put the tooth under her pillow and her and Tea tossed nervously in their beds anticipating a middle of the night visit from the Tooth Fairy.

Finally they fell asleep, late. The Tooth Fairy came but from all the other business she had conducted that day she realized that all she had was a 10 dollar bill. She slipped the bill under a sleeping Chiggie's pillow with the intention of later switching it out for a 1 dollar bill. In the morning Chiggie ran downstairs unable to contain her excitement. "She came, she came!" she exclaimed. "And the dollar she left me has a 10 on it. You must get a 10 when you lose a top front tooth."

Looks like the Tooth Fairy underestimated Chiggie. Oh well, her loss.
