Madness Aside,

My little brother lost his first tooth this evening while he was eating bacon. My dad heard something fall with a 'clink' on the hardwood floor. The tooth in question had been loose for a few weeks, so he asked "Hey Buddy, did your tooth just fall out there?" Dylan looks down at the floor and considers for a second. "No. That's a piece of bacon." He goes back to chewing his bacon. While he's speaking the absence of tooth is obvious so my dad continues. "No Dylan feel your teeth, there's one missing." Dylan feels the gap and furrows his brow. Without missing a beat, he shrugs, "Well I didn't need it anymore." He goes back to chewing.

Hahaha priceless. My parents tried to get him excited about the tooth fairy, but Dylan finds the idea of mystical ladies creeping into his room far-fetched. Eventually he just told them, "Stop it, the tooth fairy is just you guys."

I think he's just too spoiled. I played dumb for years thinking I'd get more presents at Christmas. He already knows he gets everything he wants without all the nonsense.
