The other day, Gabriel had to get 4 teeth pulled. Ouch! Well, he was a trooper during the whole experience (thanks to pediatric dentists and laughing gas). The part that freeked him out the most was how numb his face was afterwards. "This is the worst day ever! I wish I could skip this day!" Such comments were made (while he was biting on gauze--to stop the bleeding), for the next hour. The milkshake, which the nurse said would help the numbness go away faster, and a movie helped save the day.
That night he wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy, because he wanted to keep the cool looking teeth, and still get some money--he's no dummy. Anyway, the Tooth Fairy, male-- I must point out, decided to use the opportunity to give some good tooth counsel and leave a note in return. Here is what it said:
Gabriel,
I usually don't let kids keep their teeth, but since you had to get 4 teeth taken out at one time, and since you were so brave, I will let you keep these. Make sure to gargle with salt water so your gums will heal quickly. Be sure to take good care of your teeth. I don't pay as much for teeth that are rotten or that have fillings.
Love,
The Easter Bunny
Love the what? At first I thought it was a joke, but when it was brought to the tooth fairy's attention, he was pretty surprised. We all had a good laugh and Gabriel came to the conclusion that 4 huge teeth were too heavy for the fairy to carry on her own, so the Easter Bunny helped. Sounds good to me!

That is so hilarious. You should backtrack and write down all the funny things Gabriel has ever said, if there's enough room in cyberspace to hold it all!
Nice Jeff... That is so funny. He really has an imagination. Three teeth would be hard to for a little fairy to carry!
