Even though I have an inner queasiness about all of these mythical creatures kids grow up with, I have been embracing Ellie's belief in the Tooth Fairy. So I wrote this note and put it under her pillow. (Click on the letter to see the words.)

See that? Very sweet and very practical. Keep on brushin! Did I want to write a subversive note from the Tooth Fairy? Yes, I did. But I was a very, very good mommy.
