The Tooth Fairy
I pulled a student’s tooth the other day in class…
“Take it home and place it under your pillow
Some cash will be yours…”
When many questions my six year olds began to ask…
Who is this tooth fairy?
Where does she live?
Is the fairy a boy or girl?
Where does all that money come from?
If she runs out of money,
What’s she gonna give?
So many questions this teacher’s head was in a whirl…
Okay! I declared the writing prompt of the day…
Describe and illustrate the tooth fairy…
In your own special way!
The ideas came pouring in…
Many just the same…
A small fairy, with a wand, and always a girl!
When suddenly a paper really caught my eye,
Grabbing my attention I devoured every messy little word!
A smile now crossed my lips,
And bit of laughter escaped with a chuckle,
“Oh my” I declared this is wonderful.
The little boy’s story went something like this….
The tooth fairy lives in a mansion way up on a hill…
It looks like a big ole tooth…
She drives a white BMW called the tooth mobile!
The fairy is a girl, who has a bag full of golden coins,
She places one beneath my pillow…
in exchange for my baby teeth.
The teeth…well, she sells them to the dentist down the road,
That’s how she’s made her millions…
from all of the teeth she’s sold!
The dentist he uses all the teeth he’s bought…
To makes those teeth that old people wear…
Even my grandpa has a brand new pair!
