So, far from home, visiting sweaty Myrtle Beach, we retreat to my brother's condo for lunch after fun beachin' and pooling. We're eating murkey sandwiches and the kids are eating PB&J's, enjoying the company of the Jareds. All of a sudden, we hear a panicked cry from the corner. We look over to see blood spewing from Jillian's mouth. Well, not really spewing, more like a spot. Our 7 year old, last of all her friends, finally lost her first tooth, after having a wiggler for several weeks. She seemed more scared than excited. She was a little nervous that the tooth fairy wouldn't find her while on vacation. I said, "what's a tiny tooth like that worth anyway, a quarter?" Daughter responds, "No way, 10 to 20 bucks!" I said, " no way, I've heard of the rare tooth that might fetch a dollar, now and then." Needless to say, the next morning their was $10 under her pillow and a type written note from the fairy, which was astounding because we had no typewriter or printer. My baby, the toothless wonder, is all growed up.
