This poem is based on the writing that Jaylin Hamilton a six year old student in my class wrote...he's a wonderful and very creative little boy!

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!

Joyce, this write was fabulous, I loved the little boys reflection of the tooth fairy. I bet you just love working with all of those kids. What is that old saying, "Out of the mouth of Babes'." He had that tooth fairy all figured out.

This is JUST how it is, Joyce, and it takes a six-year old to see it! Whenever stuck for an answer, I always ask for the insight of the youngest person around... their vision is ALWAYS more penetrating! Thank you for sharing this delight with us. Kate xx

A beautiful Write Joyce

I surmise that Jaylin Hamilton is going to grow up to be a laboratory researcher, a police detective or--God forbid, but help him anyway--a mystery writer!

Thank you, Joyce, for sharing this precious little story.

That's a wonderful story and sure would make an excellent book for youngsters. (To me, when I was a child, the tooth fairy meant only one thing---money.) Your student's story really paints a broader picture of the tooth fairy. Great originality.

What a wonderful imagination this young lad has!! I bet he has told you some whoppers, the kind that just get bigger and bigger as they go! My youngest grandson does this too. You can always tell who inspires the child most by the stories they tell. My grandson tells of the biggest fish in the lake that tried to get on his pole but was so heavy he kept falling off!! Kids are so fresh, and you just never know what is going to come out of their mouths, can you? I think if you kept all the really cute little stories, and compiled them, you would have a wonderful childrens book. You would lnow if the kids liked it immediately cause they would be the critics! Something to think about Joyce, I'm sure the kids and their parents would love that. I sure would!!

Blessings of love,
Linda Wells
