So my littlest one has a loose tooth. It's a top-front and apparently it's worth a lot!

Lets start at the beginning. She was in the bath tub and called me in there because she had something to ask me. She said, "Daddy, I have a loose tooth, see? Will you punch my tooth out?" I told her, "I think you are just going to have to wiggle it out."

She went on to tell my wife and I about how she was talking to a friend who wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy and asked for a necklace. Well, she got it. In both girls eyes, that was a great deal...but she could do better. She then presented us the letter she wrote to the Tooth Fairy and it went link this:

Dere Tooth farey Plese give me 60$ ho and plese give me a kmoto dragon

We explained what a kmoto dragon was and I held up my arms wide. She said, "No, not that big." and I said, "Yes, that big." Later, I figured out she was thinking of a Bearded Dragon which, by the way, are $59.99 at the local pet store. We also explained that 60$ was also a bit much, even with inflation and all.

She disappeared down the hall and emerged a little while later with her revised letter as follows:

Dere Tooth farey Plese give me 20$ ho and plese give me giant stuft white animl bunny rabbit May I plese cepe my tooth

She is so stinkin' cute! (I told her that once and she said, "I'm not stinky!")

So our six-year-old daughter is talking about "forward focus". The other two jump into her conversation with "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" Of course at their ages everyone just had to be right. The debate then moved on with our six-year-old talking about a "forward expedition": "Uh huh!" Huh uh!" "Uh huh! See there!" That's when it dawned on me that she was not talking about a forward anything but a Ford Focus and a Ford Expedition. How funny!

For the longest time, our littlest one would talk about "turning around chicken".  She would say "turning around chicken" and she would turn around.  Then on day while in Costco, she got real excited and shouted "Turning around chicken!  Turning around chicken!".  I said "What are you talking about?"  She replied "Look! Turning around chicken!" and pointed at the...

So ended a year long mystery.

So we were out in back sweeping the step and my oldest says to me "Daddy, thank you for getting all the cob webs." and my littlest chimed with authority "We don't have cob spiders.  We don't have cob widows."  I love this stuff!
