Nathan
lost a tooth just before he went to bed on Sunday and failed to mention
it to me. He just placed it on his dresser and waited for the Tooth
Fairy.
When he woke up in the morning he walked into the kitchen looking very disappointed.
When he woke up in the morning he walked into the kitchen looking very disappointed.
Mom- What's wrong baby
Nathan - The Tooth Fairy didn't come to get my tooth last night
Mom- You lost a tooth?!?
Nathan - Yeah, I put it on my dresser and it's still there and there's no treat, she forgot me.
Mom (Trying to think on her feet) - Em, no no Honey, she didn't forget you its just that erm.. the Tooth Fairy, like most magical creatures does not work on Sundays.
Nathan - Why?
Mom - Why? .. . erm... well em... it's out of respect for God you know ? Sunday is God's day. Yeah that's it. I'm sure she'll come tonight.
Nathan - Oh... Okay
20 minutes later
Nathan - How come we don't see her at church?
Mom - How come we don't see who at church?
Nathan - The tooth fairy, if she believes in God
Mom - (starting to realize she's getting in too deep but still trying to pull it off) Em, I don't know maybe she's a protestant.
Nathan - or a Muslim like Saida?
Mom - (Possibly starting to lose her mind) Nah she's not a Muslim, they're Holy day is Friday that just makes no sense Honey.
Dad butting in - And I never saw her wearing Hijab in any pictures.
Nathan - There are pictures of the tooth Fairy?!?
Mom - Of course not Honey your step dad is just being silly.
Dad- Oh sure it's my contribution to this conversation that makes it silly!
Mom - Just go with it will you.
Dad - Maybe she's Jewish... that would suck because you could have to wait for her to come for 8 days if you lost your tooth just before Honika.
Mom- She's not Jewish.
Dad - How do you know?
Mom - I just do!
At this point we realized Nathan had walked out of the room and we where arguing about the Tooth Fairy's religious affiliations on our own...
The moral of the story is parenthood will eventually drive you crazy.
