He ran into my room, “I prayed for $5 and I got it, mama!” He grinned as he smelled the bill again. My little boy was ecstatic to find a sparkly, delightfully-smelling $5 bill under his pillow the next morning. I then gave it a tooth fairy touch, which involved sparkle dust, perfume, and hairspray. I turned on the iron and ironed out all the wrinkles. A tooth fairy would never dare to put a bill in that condition under a little boy’s pillow, so I went to work. “Looks like the tooth fairy is paying a late fee,” I thought.

Kids love imagining things, and this answer satisfied him. “No sweetheart, she’s not, but it’s okay to pretend that she is.” “I’m your tooth fairy, sunny-boy,” I broke to him. “You want to know the real truth?” I asked. My little boy was 6 years old, could I burst his bubble with the truth? But I knew that since he asked the question, I didn’t want to tell him something that’s not true. He had recently lost his tooth and found a dollar under his pillow. After I finished reading it, another child of mine sat next to me and asked me a question that caught me off guard. One of the boys gave me a book to read to him. My baby girl crawled on the floor around her brothers, who played with their cars. I was sitting on the living room sofa, watching my kids play.
