Tooth Fairy Fail

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.

I Should Have Danced

Whenever The Nutcracker Suite comes on, my body moves without me.  I do all these “Prima Ballerina” moves, which in reality probably look like a child trying to dance.  However, I can’t help it.  What is wrong with me?  I never took up activities as a child.  I loved to ride my bike, and play school, and other imaginary things.  I didn’t do sports in school, except tennis for two weeks before I got my first job at fifteen.  If I could rewind time, I would dance.  I would take band and golf so I could have free music lessons and free golf lessons.  However, if there was only one choice, I would have danced.  This is my proposition.  If you should have danced, email me, comment, or something, and we will take this journey together.  I’m going to find a grown up dance class, and you will too.  We can share the trials and joys.  Let us begin our second childhood today…..
