Mom: Hey buddy, is your tooth about to fall out yet?
Brady: It's really loose, but it's not ready yet. Kim said if it hurts to turn it, than it's not ready.
Mom: That's true.
Brady: Mom, where do we put my tooth for the Tooth Fairy to come & get it, and leave me money?
Mom: Well, we could put it in a bowl or a cup on your dresser, and she'll come at night & leave you money.
Brady: How does she get in the house?
Mom: She's a magical fairy, so she uses her magic powers to get in.
Brady: How come I don't wake up when she's in my room?
Mom: Because you're in a deep sleep.
Brady: Why am I so fast asleep?
Mom: Because the Sand Man sprinkles magic sand in your eyes & it makes you extra tired, so you don't wake up.
Brady: Is the Tooth Fairy real?
Mom: YES! Why would you ask if she's not real?
Brady: Mom, I'm the type of person that needs to see something to know it's real, and I haven't seen her, so I don't think the Tooth Fairy is real. I don't think the Sand Man is real either, because if I'm awake when he sprinkles the sand in my eyes, then why don't I see him before I fall asleep.
Mom: I think the Sand Man uses his invisible powers. Don't you believe in Santa Claus?
Brady: Yeah, of course he's real. I've seen Santa Claus and I've even met his elf helpers at the mall that look like him, so I know he's real, but I've never seen the Tooth Fairy.
Mom: What about the Easter Bunny? You've never seen him, but he's real.
Brady: But I've seen his Easter eggs, and those are real, so that tells me that the Easter Bunny is real, because who else would hide eggs?
Mom: Good point. Well, I don't ever remember seeing the Tooth Fairy when I was a little girl, but I did get real money when I lost a tooth, so I just know that she's real. I guess you'll have to wait until you lose a tooth & see what happens.
Brady: Okay.
Mom: Okay.
Brady: Mom, why doesn't gum stick to your teeth?
Mom: Huh?
Brady: That's a stumper, isn't it?
Mom: You ask too many questions Mr. Brady.
Brady: * laughs *
