Gratuitous Domestic Posting (TM)

Talk about your serendipitous timing. The Llama-ettes called a little while ago from their cousins' house and during the conversation, the eight year old lost a tooth that has been hanging loose and askew for a couple weeks now. Hilarity ensued.

On the other hand, I've been saving up a fistfull of Sacajawea golden dollar coins I got at an automated parking garage down south last month for just such an occassion. (They seem useless for any other purpose.) Obviously, the Tooth Fairy isn't going to drop one of them on the Llama-ette tonight, but perhaps she'll leave it in the gel's own bed for discovery upon her return.

UPDATE: As is usually the case, the Missus was way out in front of me on this one. This afternoon, while the Llama-ette's attention was engaged elsewhere, she slipped around to the local bank and obtained the necessary coin. (And before you chide us for over-doing it, I would mention that the Missus told me today about somebody she knows who gives their kid twenty - twenty - farookin' dollars per tooth.)
