The Sunday Funnies: The Tooth Fairy Edition

The day her tooth came out, Dorothy prompted our Google Home with the phrase "tooth fairy."  Google responded, "According to Wikipedia, The Tooth Fairy is a fantasy figure of early childhood in Western and Western-influenced cultures."  Dorothy exclaimed, "Google doesn't think the tooth fairy is real!  She said a fantasy figure!"

Dorothy wanted the Tooth Fairy to leave her a toy and not take her tooth.  I said I couldn't promise, and gave her some options.  "But I think you should leave the tooth for the Tooth Fairy, and what's meant to happen will happen," I added.  Dorothy, still in tears, replied, "Or whatever happens will happen."

Dorothy wanted to communicate to the Tooth Fairy that she wanted an LOL in exchange for her first tooth, so she wore her LOL pajamas to bed.  In the morning, I noticed that she was wearing them backwards.  She explained, "When I turned over on my belly last night, I wanted the Tooth Fairy to be able to see the LOLs on my pajamas so she would know what I wanted, so I turned my pajamas around before I turned over."

After she opened her LOL, Dorothy offered, "Gram will be creeped and freaked to see that my new LOL has skin that turns green.  And 'disturved.'"
