My 9-yr-old lost a tooth the other day and my wife still likes to do the 'tooth fairy' ritual with him.
Tonight, she asked him (because she knew she forgot to put any money under his pillow) if the tooth fairy came.
He said, "I dunno...lemme check. Nooo," he yells from the bedroom.
My wife says, "Aww...he must've been really busy."
"Oh, what-ev-er," he said with that prepubescent tone. "Too busy watching American Idol. I know you and Daddy are the tooth fairy."
At least that bubble was burst with laughter.
