A Tooth and Trust Story

Here is a little story about W.

The first tooth W lost when he was only 5 was swallowed, while the second tooth he lost when he was still 5 fell into the drain when he was brushing his teeth. So when he lost his third tooth (6 and 4 months) while in China, he was very excited that he got to hold it. Since he was on walking on the street when it came off, daddy offered to kept it for safekeeping for the tooth fairy.

But when daddy's clothes was given to grandpa to wash in the washing machine, W's tooth went along with it and that was the end of that. So the other day, W tells me that he can't trust daddy anymore because daddy had said he will safe keep his tooth but instead lost his tooth. As a direct result of that incident, W still have not received any present from the tooth fairy in exchange for his tooth. So I told daddy and it was decided that daddy will be W's tooth fairy and give him a $1 dollar bill. Oh, I wish I had capture the joy and excitement on the dear boy's face upon receiving the dollar bill. Now the trust that was once lost has been restored. He is one very happy boy and he's keeping the dollar bill in what he calls his "treasure bag".
