My son lost his two front teeth in the same week. I was sneaking into his room in the early morning to exchange the tooth for the money, and I stepped on an old baby doll his sister had given him. It started playing a lullaby in a horrible distorted tone. The batteries were very old. It sounded like a tune from a horror movie. I froze, hoping he wouldn’t wake up, but the demented doll just kept playing the tune. It was awful. He woke up. “What are you doing in here?”, he asked. I was afraid he was going to find out the tooth fairy was false. I replied, “I was just going to wake you up, but it is early and you look so cozy, why don’t you go back to bed.” As I said this, I leaned in to give his little precious head a kiss, and stealthily made the exchange-cash for tooth”. I am still worried he knows, and it was a hilarious moment. More care must be taken next time.
