Quinn crawled in to bed with me this morning, and immediately began talking about the tooth fairy. He wanted to know why only the TOOTH FAIRY was real, when I had told him all other fairies were make-believe. I told him we'd google it and find out. He wanted to know where tooth fairies lived, and what they ate, and what they did with the teeth when they were done with them. He wanted to know what KIND of clouds they lived on, because there are different types, you know, and they probably don't live on all three types. Where do you put the tooth so the tooth fairy can find it? When I said either in a glass of water by his bed, or under his pillow, he said "you can't put it in a cup. That'd be uncomfortable to sleep on!" He wanted to know what the inside of a tooth looked like, and why we lose baby teeth, and how long it would be until the big one came in, and why I have a wire in my mouth, and what are braces? We spent the early morning looking up pictures of tooth fairies, and then teeth, which eventually morphed into videos of rockets taking off and astronauts doing flips in space.
This curiosity is awesome to me, but I really have a hard time coming up with all the answers!!
