Tonight Mario asked to sleep with me and when he came in to lay down beside me he said "wait! I have to get my tooth that I pulled out today and put it under my pillow tonight!" So he took off running through the house and returned with his little tooth and a beaming smile. [with no front teeth. ;)] He showed me the tooth with such pride. :) Then he looked at me and said ' I get money for this again right?' { he recently lost another tooth and remembered getting money for it that time} So I told him that if he placed it under the pillow that the tooth fairy would come and take the tooth and place some money there instead. Then I told him about when I was little and lost some teeth and this was what happened with me as well. And he said " how much money did you get?" I told him it was usually a dollar...and he said "so I get 20 lemps right?!?" [ the equivalent of a US dollar] and I laughed and told him that if he was good tonight and went to sleep with the tooth under his pillow, some money would certainly be there in the morning. As I turned off the light and started down the hall he sat straight up in bed and said " SAM! Does the tooth fairy have a key to get in the door??" So I came back in and told him that the tooth fairy was kinda like Santa and that he didn't need to worry about her getting in, because she'd find her way. Well the conversation quickly turned into Mario telling me how santa comes in the chimney and that he has reindeer and that he brings presents in a big bag that say 'Mario' on the wrapping paper. :) Then we had to do a google search to find a picture of the tooth fairy so he'd know what she looked like. :) :) So he finally settled down and I went downstairs for a while and came back up to find Mario laying sideways in the bed so his head wouldn't be touching the pillow just to make SURE the tooth fairy can get to his pillow tonight with those 20 lemps. ;)
