The Tooth Fairy Negotiates: From the Mouth of Babes

From the mouth of babes, literally.

Mom, I've cleaned my tooth and I'm going to put it under my pillow. I'm hoping for twenty bucks.

I don't think the tooth fairy is in the business of giving out twenties, Wes. They earn minimum wage, you know how much that is, right? I think the going rate is $2.

Well. The fact that they give out free money is crazy. I'm going to say a prayer. I'm going to ask God to notify the tooth fairy that the price has gone up temporarily and to give me more money. Maybe thirty bucks.

Mom? Yes. Today we had a relief teacher, because my teacher's grandmother passed away this morning.

I hope Gong Gong lives till I'm my teacher's age. Then I can watch tennis and play cards with him. I can watch Janik Sinner till he gets old and Djokovic till he retires, which will be soon. My teacher is almost 40 right? Pause That's pretty ambitious. He'll be the oldest man alive.
