Little girls asking their mummy about the tooth fairy and how they would place their fallen milk tooth under their pillow in wait for the fabled fairy to take it away or change it into something exciting.
What the movie never shows is how the tooth in that small little girl first come out. Now that would make a great movie.
It starts with a little stub that slowly makes it's way out into the wonderful world we live in. But not before creating excruciating pain for the little girl, breaking out into high fever and never ending sleepless nights for the parents.
That's our little miss Maegan this past week. Her little mouth has new friends. Yes, it's friends, not friend.
Since I'm not God and not very good at making teeth grow, I shan't complain about the timing of these three little tooth making their way out AT THE SAME TIME!
If one is not painful enough, Maegan has three popping out at the same time resulting in fever hitting 39.6 celcius and waking up almost every other hour for the past three nights.
She would cry for a good 30 mins before dozing off and shortly, the pain strikes and the crying starts all over again. Your heart aches when you hear her cry and not able to do anything about the pain makes it even harder to take.
So you start wondering if there is really such a thing as a tooth fairy and why does the fairy only come when the tooth drops out and not when it starts coming out.
If only movies shows the whole story. New dad's like me will probably be better prepared for the coming of the tooth (or in our case teeth).
For now, I'll just have to keep hugging Maegan when she cries at night and wonder why God chose to grow all three teeth at the same time and why the tooth fairy never come when she's needed.
