JIPPED!

Hmfph! Back in *the* day (approximately the late 70's just so ya know), the toothfairy only left a quarter. Apparenly now the cost of a teeny, tiny, used piece of enamel is $2! I'm definately in the wrong business!

that little piece of enamel only costs $1 here....but the first one is always $3 (and of course that's gold coins instead of paper). heh.

Oh, when AUbree got her teeth knocked and had to have them pulled at the tender age of 3. The DENTIST, lovely man, told her that should be worth $20 a piece. Don't think she didn't know what a $20 bill was either. I had half a mind to tell him to take $40 from his bill. COngrats on the teeth lost!!!

CUTE pic & post!! Our boys typically got $1 per tooth and cripes, with 3 of them and nearly all of their teeth out by now, we nearly had to take out a 2nd mortgage on the home to pay for them all!! It was AWESOME meeting you at CHA. I have our pic up on my blog in my CHA photos!!
