Kid Confessions - Owen

Owen runs in from the back yard, super excited.

"Mom, I have a wiggly tooth!"

"You do? Which one?"

He shows me it is the bottom front tooth.

"I can't wait for it to fall out so I can get money from the tooth fairy!"
"If the tooth fairy gives me $4 I'm going to give Kyle 3 and keep 1."

"Oh, really? Why?"

"Because I've been stealing his money."

Well, I'm glad he's honest. And, I like that he feels he should return it. Now I'm a little tempted to give him a bonus for wanting to do the right thing.

Update: Owen lost the tooth the very next day! He was concerned about going to soccer camp because of his wiggly tooth. As it turns out that was a valid point! Someone accidentally whacked him in the mouth as they were both running for the ball and his tooth became so loose from that he just pulled it out right there! I was uber impressed that he managed to not lose the tooth and brought it home.

The tooth fairy brought $5 and just as he said he offered to give his brother $3.  His dad didn't want him giving away his first tooth fairy money so he shelled out the $3 debt. I guess it pays to confess!

Kyle lost his first tooth! He's been waiting a long time for this and his excitement just made me happy. This was one of those times where I didn't have to do any convincing to take his picture.

Lovin' Kyle's Smile!

And since I'm writing this late - I have to share the sweet joy he had coming to wake me up before the sun was up to tell me the tooth fairy left him $3. Phew. He didn't remember the last deal where his sister got $20 for an extracted tooth (this one not from tooth decay but the new tooth had come all the way up behind the baby tooth and wasn't showing any signs of coming out. Truthfully the tooth fairy had nothing smaller than a twenty but I rationalized it easily.
