Conversation at the cigar shop today...
Red, (talking about his first child), "Will's got a loose tooth. He's 4."
Rhino, "Isn't that the time it happens?"
Red, "Around 5 or so usually."
Rhino, "Well, he's ahead of the curve."
Larry (whose children are all grown), "Now you get to be the Tooth Fairy."
Red, "I'm not anything with fairy in it."
Demetrious, (who has 5 young children), "You know the haul per tooth is $5.00 these days."
Larry, "If that's the case then I'd pull all of my teeth."
Odd conversations.
I'd say pulling one's teeth for the short term is a stupid return on a long term investment.

Anon who said they had to be your teeth?
ReplyDeleteBangarrr, I think you just hit on the plot for Stephen King's next novel. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteSir Terry Prachett had an excellent take on the tooth fairy in Hogfather.
