Q

I believe in tooth fairies. I still do. Past, present, future.

I remember once, when I lost my tooth, I wrote a note to the tooth fairy and wrapped up my tooth with it and slipped it under my pillow.

It went something like this:

Dear toothfairy,

Thank you for visiting my house and using my tooth to make fairy powder. Please give me a skate scooter. You can put it next to my bed. But if you are unable to do that, please give me a Ken doll.

Thanks and goodbye (:

The next day came extreme disppointment. No skate scooter, no Ken doll. (Although I got both some time after, cept not from a toothfairy)

Even my parents did not exchange my tooth for a dollar coin or something.

Sheesh.

I sorta figured that the tooth fairy might be busy. They can’t possibly go to every kid who lost their tooth, right?

Riight.

As I grew older, my belief was mixed with doubts, confusion. But somehow it came to a halt, and now I KNOW that the tooth fairy exists. Yes she does, she does she does she does.

That tooth went down the drain pipe when I was washing it :
Years after that incident, my sister, aged 6-7, lost her tooth.

I think she believes in tooth fairies too. That night, Kejun and I extracted that bloody, filthy white thing and slipped a dollar under her pillow.

The next day, she was all, “Wow, cool”, when she saw it.

It was damn sweet, knowing a child’s belief is like, you know…

UNTIL !!! UNTIL UNTIL she went, “Oh, I think I actually saw a little bit of the tooth fairy!”

Did I mention my sis is a big fat liar? She is also horrid at lying ):

Me: Oh, reeeeaaally? How did it look like?

Sis: Um… she can fly, and she has a wand.

Kejun: Does she know you saw her ?

Sis: Er… no. I was pretending to sleep.

Me: Oh, yahh, right. But I thought toothfairies like to bring children to play?

Kejun: yeah

Sis: Oh, actually, I bluff you one…the toothfairy got talk to me.

Me: Then leh?

Sis: Then… then she fly away.

Kejun: Never bring you up to sky to play meh ?

Sis: Oh… have! Have…

KJ and Me: (mutters) liar.

Sis: (Obviously fabricating her famous big fat lies) And she hold my hand and we fly up to the sky and she gave me alot of sweets…

Me: To decay your teeth more? How ironic.

Sis: …and I saw the other toothfairy the queen toothfairy yadda yadda.

KJ and I: -_-
