UPDATE: Lost tooth

The Tooth Fairy visited Brendan in the wee hours Saturday morning. She left a one dollar bill in exchange for Brendan's baby tooth.

The next morning, Brendan was happy to have the money, but he wasn't nearly as excited as the day before. Finally, the question came: "Why did the Tooth Fairy only give me one dollar?"

Most days, one dollar would have been plenty. But on the way home from school Friday, our neighbor Whitney, who is 8, explained how she also lost a tooth in math class on Thursday. The Tooth Fairy brought her $4!

I quickly explained that the Tooth Fairy pays more for larger teeth, and that when he's 8, I'm sure he'll be so lucky.
