Recently while our youngest daughter was in the hospital for
a minor surgery, we had the privilege of taking care of our youngest set of
twin grandgirls.
On the ride home from the hospital we began to talk about
the tooth fairy as both girls had discovered that their O & P teeth (the
other grandmother is a dental hygienist) were loose and they were excited about
the possibility of a visit from the tooth fairy.
Of course the discussion of money was the hot topic. What seemed like a reasonable amount of money
when their mother lost her first tooth, seemed almost like an insult to these
girls. However, I was overtaken with the
thought that our daughter and son-in-law might feel slighted if their Pop Pop
and I got the first visit from the tooth fairy.
So, I simply said, “girls if you lose either your “O or P”
tonight, the tooth fairy might not know where you are. We might need to save the tooth and let your
mom and dad put it under your pillow at home.”
Without skipping a beat both girls informed me that they
were sure the tooth fairy had a computer and a tracking device. WHAT?
Who Knew? Furthermore the “wand” probably had GPS.
Well there you go!! Not only will this generation never
write a check or have the privilege of signing the back of a check in cursive,
the tooth fairy will probably send a snapchat showing her holding O & P with a message that says, “A deposit has been made to your debit card”.
