I just put the little sweetie to bed and she told me again about the little boy at church that said there is no tooth fairy. She said, "It's dad isn't it.He comes in here while I am asleep. No actually it is probably you." I told her she was very smart and to go to sleep. The 8 year old still actually believes in the tooth fairy, but the 4 year old has already figured the whole thing out. Jaden told me a couple of years ago that he saw the tooth fairy and she looks just like me. I told him he was exactly right that the tooth fairy did indeed look just like me. Then he added, "But she is very very little." Well I tried. Kind of. When I was little I didn't like Santa Claus freaked me out thinking that someone could get into our house while my parents were sleeping. I did believe in the tooth fairy. I also believed in the Sand Man. I actually thought I caught a glimpse of him one night in my room in Bay, Arkansas. He looks like a cat burglar with a big bag of sleepy sand on his back. I think I came up with him because I had dreadful allergies and when I would wake up I couldn't open my eyes because of the dried matter. Gross I know but you can see how I thought there might be a Sand Man and I was 6. Oh Mr. Sand Man bring me a dream make him the cutest that I've ever seen. Well I have that too. Except the Sand Man didn't bring him God did. I'm not sure who started all of these things for kids, but I do know that when you have something scary happen to you like teeth falling out it is fun to think about the money under your pillow that shows up the next morning...no matter who brings it. I tell the kids often that somethings are just fun to think about but God and the Bible are real. So go and think about something fun and then thank the Lord for giving you an imagination and a sense of humor.
