We haven’t done one of these in a while, but I have one very important question and some other questions of no importance whatsoever.
1. How much does your tooth fairy pay for a tooth?*
2. If I admit to my kids that there is no tooth fairy does that automatically give up Santa Claus and the rest of those guys?
3. Do your kids read your blog? **
4. What are you reading?***
5. Are you as disgusted by Brett Favre and Michael Vick as I am?
* That was the important one.
** Assuming a) you have kids and b) they know how to read.
*** I mean, clearly you are reading my blog, right now, but what book or books are you reading? This has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that I am curious.

1. $1
2. No.
3. Very no.
4. Bad science fiction.
5. Yes.

I think I got a buck a tooth, but that was 40 years ago.
Outside of magazines, I haven’t read much since I got my Masters.
Favre is just sad for both sides, but really for the Vikings, who just are screwing themselves up more. Vick served his time and should be able to get a job. Why should anybody be jealous that he has skills that people will pay lots of money for?
August 20th, 2009 at 9:28 am, Dina D. Says:
I don’t have children, but my parents used to give us kids $1. I think that’s an age-appropriate amount. Teaches them the value of money without setting a precedent of entitlement.
August 20th, 2009 at 9:29 am, MamaKaren Says:
1. $1 (usually a coin, since that’s something a little different and, therefore, special) For the first tooth, I (I mean The Tooth Fairy) also left a small toy/coloring book/kitschy thing from the dollar store.
2. Nope
3. No
4. “Nineteen Minutes” by Jodi Piccoult, and “Understanding the Mind of Your Bipoloar Child.” I don’t recommend the second one as light reading.
5. Totally. More annoyed than disgusted by Favre, but sick of both of them.
August 20th, 2009 at 9:48 am, daniel Says:
1) I think we started at 50cents but quickly up to $1
2) not necessarily
3) no (one is in reform school and has no internet access and the younger three can’t read yet but Kindergarden will change that)
4) two books: Our Lady of Guadalupe: Mother of the Civilization of Love by Carl Anderson and Eduardo Chaves as well as Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini
5) Don’t do sports (yeah, I know)
August 20th, 2009 at 9:53 am, Michelle Says:
1. So far, we’ve only lost 2 teeth. But the tooth fairy has left $1 and a book. The $1 may go down or remain the same, but there will always be a book.
2.We’re on the fence for Santa, thanks to school. But, I plan on using her little bro to force her to pretend longer. She was leary of the Tooth Fairy, so with the first tooth I got her a book about the tooth fairy and what she does with the teeth, and a tradition was born.
3. I don’t have a blog, but she often tries to read blogs over my shoulder and I have to send her away (she’s 6).
4.Some smut novel I can put down at any time in the carpool lane, The Autism Acceptance Book by Ellen Sabin, with my daughter, and Junie B. Jones series.
5. Yeah, from Atlanta. More discusted with the justice system and NFL commish than Vick at this point.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:28 am, Kristen Says:
I don’t even remember all the questions and we haven’t lost teeth. I would totally go with a “gold” dollar coin. Cheap and flashy. But that’s just me.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:39 am, Kate Says:
1. Nada
2. I don’t think so, unless you stop buying them presents.
3. Nope, they can’t read. Plus I haven’t blogged in awhile.
4. I just finished Sarah’s Key by Tatiana DeRosnay, and The 19th Wife by some guy. Soon to start The Help by Kathryn somebodyorother.
5. Don’t really give a rats ass about Farve. Vick… I don’t know.. disgusted by his actions, sure. But he did his time so I dunno. I guess I just don’t care enough.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:40 am, Linda Says:
1) $1 and some fan fare about putting it in an envelope the night before.
2) No. He has some real doubts about the Tooth Fairy but gets that he’s getting the better end of the deal. He’s not even thought about questioning Santa and the Easter Bunny.
3) Don’t have a blog.
4)The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline by Nancy Springer (A fabulous kid mystery series about the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes – go girl power!) Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Husband Coached Childbirth by Bradley
5) I have no idea who those people are.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:40 am, Lisa Says:
No lost teeth here yet, but I’m thinking the gold coins as well. I kinda think yes to #2.
#3, my son can’t read.
#4- I am reading Rapture Ready by Daniel Radosh and Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Okler? something like that.
#5- Favre isn’t on my radar, and I am on the fence about Vick. He DID do what the courts required, but I still think he’s a creep.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:53 am, Kristabella Says:
I read on someone else’s blog that kids get like $5 a tooth these days. We got whatever change was in my mom’s purse.
I’m reading Danny Evans’ book right now. It’s good. Before that, I finished The Girls from Ames.
I hope Favre breaks his leg or something. And I hope the Packers don’t let him retire as a Packer. GIVE IT UP DUDE.
As for Vick, it’s irritating, but also, I worked in the NFL so it isn’t surprising. It’s a business. Vick sells tickets and people will watch him on TV. It still sickens me what he did, but he went to jail.
August 20th, 2009 at 11:10 am, Stimey Says:
1. A $1 coin.
2. I don’t know. My kids are all still believers.
3. No, but they are aware it exists and sometimes they look at the pictures. I assume they eventually will.
4. Just finished “Bonk” by Mary Roach. Also “The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao.” Both were excellent. I haven’t chosen a new book yet.
5. I wish that Favre would just retire with dignity already, but I am not disgusted. Michael Vick, on the other hand, disgusts me.
August 20th, 2009 at 11:15 am, Mama Bub Says:
My kid isn’t at tooth fairy age yet, but here’s a mildly related story about question #2. A neighbor of ours was told, at age 12, in school that there was no Santa Claus. He came home to his parents and they confirmed this news. Him mom then said, “And Todd, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy…”
He wailed, “Not them TOO!”
August 20th, 2009 at 11:31 am, Tito Says:
1) The last time I lost any “the Tooth Fairy” was an Latino with plyers and I had to give HIM like $900
2)If your kids are as smart as I think they are they will pretend to belive in every one of those guys as long as they are still offering booty.
3)No Blog or kids but my cat watches “Meerkat Manor” intently. We tape it. I have issues
4)I wish this was a lie…”eclipse”
5)No Idea what this question refers to but YES!
August 20th, 2009 at 11:38 am, kat Says:
1. my child hasn’t lost any teeth yet but A DOLLAR per tooth?!? We got a quarter.
2. yes.
3. no.
4. Love Walked In
5. Farve is a joke and i can’t believe the NFL takes him seriously. HOnestly, i could care less @ Vick’s issues! He’s a good player.
August 20th, 2009 at 11:40 am, Jen Says:
1) $2. In our house the tooth fairy is a pushover for a kid with a gap toothed smile.
2. No.
3. No. I spend way to much time talking about vaginas and poop.
4. I just finished Cold Mountain and Pretending to be Normal.
5. I don’t care one way or the other about Farve (although everyone around me seems pretty happy with him right now) but Vick is pretty much a bad person and I would be happy to never hear about him again.
August 20th, 2009 at 11:41 am, mommymae Says:
1. $1 gold coin (which she sometimes has to swipe from the kids)
2. no. non-christians still get down with toothy magic, so i think we, as parents, can pick & choose who we want to introduce.
3. no. well, they aren’t supposed to, but they try if it’s open.
4. nothing, sadly.
5. football disgusts me in general (i kid! i kid!)
August 20th, 2009 at 11:43 am, Angella Says:
We haven’t had any lost teeth yet, but it should happen this year sometime. Let me know what you find out.
And no, the kids don;t read my site, though Graham will sometimes tell me to Twitter something. Yes, really.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:02 pm, divrchk Says:
I’m reading Playing With the Enemy by Gary Moore.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:12 pm, Headless Mom Says:
1- $2 for the first tooth, $1 thereafter, or $.50 for a tooth that has a cavity.
2-No, but it makes it more difficult.
3-Littles, no, 19yo. yes. She even has her own google reader.
4-nothing
5-You already know my answer to this.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:41 pm, Lori in Denver Says:
1. $1
2. You’re the all-powerful mom. You can do whatever the heck you want with imaginary folk.
3. Not yet. They might soon.
4. Weight of Silence by Heidi Someone.
5. Yes.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:44 pm, Kelly Says:
1. $1+
2. Not necessarily, but it becomes more difficult to keep things metaphysically consistent.
3. n/a
4. Just read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Plays with Fire and they are awesome.
5. Yes. I have been an Eagles fan for 33 years (my whole life) and grew up in Philly. The day they signed Vick I took the Eagles sticker off of my car. And, I just hope no one covers Favre’s “retirement” in the future. Not news.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:09 pm, MammaLoves Says:
$1/tooth get yourself some sparkly body powder and sprinkle it over them when you make the switch. They’ll think the tooth fairy left fairy dust behind. My boys LOVE that.
Give one up, give ‘em all up
no
Just finished World Without End (the follow up to Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet)
yes
August 20th, 2009 at 2:02 pm, laurie Says:
1. I’m sure I would give them too much if I were in this position but since I got $1 in the olden days I figure a few bucks? Or a doubloon. Or a gift card.
2. Santa Claus is in his own league and can kick the tooth fairy’s ass (i mean, metaphorically – does the fairy have her/his own industry? Holiday? Didn’t think so.) Combining the two concepts may lead to therapy. I never really bought the Easter bunny.
3. N/a, but I’d die if I had any and they did.
4. Pretending to read Drinking the Sea at Gaza and All the Pretty Horses (not a feel-good pair. I don’t know why I do this to myself in the summer.) but I can only currently handle magazines and blogs because it’s registration time. Gave up on Lady Lazarus for the moment. Really want to read Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Wondering if Stimey got it from the library or bought it, cause I’ll totally borrow it .
5. I have no opinion about this. You know this.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:42 pm, Ashlie- Mommycosm Says:
1. A chapter book most of the time b/c they were on sale, $1/tooth when she lost 2 in one day. She’s lost 6 so far.
2. Nope. Santa is real.
3. My oldest can read and at times reads what I write. She does not know (yet) how to log on to the computer and find Mommycosm. I’m in trouble when/if she does.
4. A William G. Tapply novel – one of his Brady Coyne series. Met him at a writing workshop and have enjoyed reading the series.
5. YES.
August 20th, 2009 at 3:00 pm, Jennifer Says:
1. My tooth fairy always gave me a silver dollar or half dollar. It was nice, because it wasn’t about being able to spend the money, but rather about collecting these huge coins that no one else had. I still have them, to this day.
2. Most likely. The questions always start with the Easter bunny.
3. My unborn children do, in the sense that I read the blog and so does my husband. But in their current state of egg and sperm, they are entirely unaware of what they’re reading.
4. Les Miserables, Love in the Time of Cholera, Salt, and Harry Potter. (I can’t read just one at a time.)
5. I don’t even watch sports, but yes, I am.
August 20th, 2009 at 3:44 pm, nonlineargirl Says:
No idea on the teeth yet, and Ada doesn’t read (but occasionally looks at the pictures) on blogs I read.
I am reading Richard Russo’s Bridge of Sighs, which is not that great but is fine for while I am pumping at 3am. It is too long, however. I really enjoyed his book Empire Falls. Also reading the New Yorker magazine, as always. I was going to read “Bad Mother” (Ayelet Waldman) but forgot to get to the library in time and my hold expired.
August 20th, 2009 at 3:52 pm, Tobias Says:
1: I got a quarter, but my sister (who’s 9 now) was bumped up to $5. Apparently inflation was insane during the 15 year span between us.
2: Depends on the kid. I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I found out my parents had made up the Hanukkah Fairy. My cousin reasoned that unicorns don’t exist, but horses do so that meant that Santa was still real.
3: No kids yet.
4: Beautiful People by Simon Doonan. I’ve actually read it before, but it’s one of my favourites so I pick it up every few months.
5: I, uh, don’t watch American Football. Isn’t Favre a bit old, though? I seem to remember hearing about him when I was a kid.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:54 pm, Lynn Craig Says:
1. How much does your tooth fairy pay for a tooth?*
I love the dollar coins and try to give those, but I’ll admit it I go lower if they don’t know the difference (my second started losing teeth really young) and higher if there were complications (involving dentists)
2. If I admit to my kids that there is no tooth fairy does that automatically give up Santa Claus and the rest of those guys?
No!
3. Do your kids read your blog? **
HELL no
4. What are you reading?***
The Book Thief by Marcuz Zusack. Actually re-reading it. I read it when it first came out and now my book club is reading it.
August 20th, 2009 at 6:00 pm, Roger Says:
1. $1.00
2. No, I don’t think so. Everyone knows that Santa is real.
3. Some do, I have two that can’t read yet, two that think I’m an idiot and three that like to laugh at me.
4. Drood by Dan Simmons (very slow going at the moment though)
5. Oh yeah. Bring on some real football, not soap opera crap. I am also sick of hearing about Brandon Marshall (of the greatest of all teams the Denver Broncos (just thought I’d slip that in)) is whining about being disrespected or needing money, or something. Just shut up and play.
August 20th, 2009 at 6:35 pm, Lori Says:
1. Will ask you when we get there
2. Will ask you when we get there
3. Not yet, and I don’t plan on it either
4. Memoirs of a Geisha
5. Favre annoys me and Vick disgusts me.
August 20th, 2009 at 7:25 pm, Sharon Says:
1. $1.00 until they lost molars, then $2.00 (to account for inflation and the increased owie factor.)
2. No, no, no, don’t worry…My oldest figured out I was the tooth fairy a full year before she had any questions about Santa.
3. N/A (I am blogless.)
4. Jointly reading Promise the Moon (Arnold)–recommend Pieces of My Sister’s Life as well–and Dear American Airlines (Jonathan Miller.) Loving both of them more than I can tell you.
5. Yes, and YESSSSS. Vick literally makes me nauseous, and I am officially no longer an Eagles fan.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:19 pm, Tammy Says:
1. $1
2. It depends on what you have told them already. Besides, the tooth fairy is fun, she just visited our house 2 days ago.
3. No
4. Deltora Quest (a 5th grade book, at Eric’s request)
5. Yes & Yes
August 20th, 2009 at 8:19 pm, CK Lunchbox Says:
1. $1, but my wife accidentally put a 10 bill under one of the kids’ pillow. The next morning I told them the tooth fairy was paid up for the next 4 years.
2. Tell them that the economy force the tooth fairy out of biz, but Santa and the Easter Bunny cashed in on the bailout money.
3. Only when I tell them to stay away from the computer.
4. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
5. I’m more of a roller derby kinda guy.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:19 pm, Mold on the Wonder Bread Says:
1. I grew up Jehovah’s Witness so I have no freaking clue. I’ll have to ask my husband.
2. See #1
3. Can’t read yet.
4. Just finished I’m Perfect, You’re Doomed-Growing up Jehovah’s Witness by Kyria Abrahams. Now going to start on Confederacy of Dunces, because I haven’t read it since college.
5. I would say so. There are just too many people right now to be disgusted by to get bogged down with just 2 though.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:34 pm, cartoongoddess Says:
1. Agent M’s teeth are refusing to budge, which probably means we will give the tooth fairy money to the dentist. I’m figuring upwards of $200 per extraction. Neither of us is looking forward to this. If the teeth wise up and fall out on their own, she’ll get $1 per tooth.
2. Let them hang onto that for as long as possible.
3. Yes, especially if she can’t find my sketchbook.
4. Exile by Richard North Patterson
5. Who?
August 20th, 2009 at 9:37 pm, susan (trout towers) Says:
1) $1
2) they’ll believe what they believe anyway.
3)Sometimes
4)The Book Thief
5)Isn’t Favre a hockey player?
Also, I am related to one of the fictional characters named in a previous comment. A character on the reading list, I mean, not the Easter bunny.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:20 pm, A Free Man Says:
1. Dunno, cross that bridge when we come to it.
2. Good question. I’d like to leave the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny (we have an Easter Bilby here, look it up) out in the cold. But i don’t know if they come as a unit.
3. He looks at the pictures.
4. The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. (Could be wrong on title and author). Excellent.
5. Probably not, I don’t care about either of them.
August 20th, 2009 at 11:03 pm, Sadia Says:
I have nothing for you, except on 4.
So, I’m reading:
Raising Your Spirited Child (Kurcinka)
Pictures at an Exhibition (Houghteling)
The Welsh Girl (Davies)
The Good Enough Parent (Bettelheim)
August 20th, 2009 at 11:31 pm, kaleigh Says:
1. About a buck. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But we’re fresh outta teeth in our house, so the tooth fairy has been laid off.
2. Don’t do it. The teeth may come in handy for science fair projects or something like that.
3. Sometimes, but they aren’t interested. We are, however, Facebook friends, and they do pay attention there.
4. Lots of Laura Lippman. I like murder mysteries. When I come up for air, I’m reading about mid-19th century agriculture (research for the book I’m writing) and old-school herbalism and women in the civil war.
5. Hell too the yeah.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:42 am, William Says:
I think a dollar is a fair amount for a tooth. Maybe a 50 cent piece would be cool though.
Regarding the Vick thing. I may be going against what other people are saying but He served his time in Jail. Anyone else (not famous) would serve their time and be able to go out and get a job, he should be able to as well. And in a real round about way..the same people that are protesting because they are PETA or SPCA are being somewhat hyporcritical becasue they are using his fame as a footballplayer to get theo word out about their platform. If he was not famous they would not have the TV time that they have been getting. It is a win win for everyone. Also I am an Eagles fan, I think from a football standpoint he will be great for the team. I also have pets and animals.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:21 am, Catootes Says:
1. $1
2. probably, but what do I know, I got caught putting money under the pillow.
3. yes, because someone has to read my blog
4. the weight of silence, the year of magical thinking,
5. more like resigned
August 21st, 2009 at 12:07 pm, Sports Mama Says:
Ok, so I’m going to risk getting lost in all of your many comments, but here goes….
Obviously, the Tooth Fairy has retired our house from her route. BUT, she used to pay $1/tooth, regardless of how my boys used to try to scam more by writing notes all about the agony and effort involved in pulling said tooth. And since I think the Tooth Fairy, Santa and the Easter Bunny are kinda like the Holy Trinity of paganistic holiday celebrations…. yeah. If one goes, they all go.
Actually, my boys do occasionally read my blog. They claim they need to be forewarned about how embarrassed they might be the next time someone sees them. Ya know, cuz I’ve got that legion of followers… ha!
The books I’m currently reading really aren’t fit for family-oriented blogs.
We’ll just say I’m a HUGE fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon and Christine Feehan. Google ‘em and see what they write. 
Good stuff, there.
I’m not so much disgusted by Farve and Vick as I am by the Vikings for encouraging them. It’s a real pity that their colors are the same as my teenager’s high school team colors. I can’t just ban them from my house.
August 21st, 2009 at 12:08 pm, Sports Mama Says:
And yes, I realize I spelled Brett’s name wrong. Tough. I’m pretty sure he’ll survive that slight.
Besides, it might be my subconscious way of poking at him, since I can’t ban those colors.
August 21st, 2009 at 1:19 pm, Lumpyhead's Mom's friend Sarah Says:
1. $1 golden coin plus a typewritten note from his tooth fairy, Bruce, who apparently is a surfer dude who dispenses teeth-related advice (”Dude! Not cool! You should never let your camp counselors pull your tooth out!”) and answers all the questions about tooth fairies (they grind up the old teeth to use as fairy dust to fly around, each tooth fairy can only cover about 500 kids/night, which is why there are so many tooth fairies with different gift-giving routines).
2. yes
3. no
4. sadly, nothing. Occasionally I read trashy fiction or whatever else catches my eye at the library, but reading for pleasure is one of the things that seems to have gone by the wayside since becoming a parent.
5. probably!
August 21st, 2009 at 2:31 pm, Kevin Says:
1. The Tooth Fairy gave our eldest son $2. My wife says it is important to ask not the internet at large but the parents of your kids’ friends to find out how much their friends are getting. You don’t want their friends saying, “The tooth fairy gave ME $__!” and have it be something different than what your child got. So my wife asked around my son’s classmates and the going rate at the time in our neighborhood was $2.
2. I’m not sure about this one yet. I have wondered the same thing. We haven’t crossed that bridge yet, and I’m not sure what will happen when we do. I’m afraid not only will it unravel the whole Santa thing, but also spoil it for our younger son in foul swoop.
3. Not that I’m aware of. My eldest (8 yrs old) certainly knows that I write a blog and has read over my shoulder as I write, but I don’t think he visits my blog to read it on his own. He does read our Facebook posts though, so I find I have to be careful about what I post there.
4. I’m reading Brisingr (the third book of the Eragon trilogy). I plan to start reading Ender’s Game with my son when he finishes with the Harry Potter series.
August 21st, 2009 at 3:54 pm, misfithausfrau Says:
Here Goes:
1. $5 for first tooth and $2 thereafter. Glitter on the pillow is a nice touch. I have told the girls that there is a legion of tooth fairies and they might not get the same one every time.
2. Just embrace the lies or you will spoil it for all of the children in your kids’ classes.
3. No.
4. I am reading “The Abs Diet” and “Pretty in Plaid.”
5. Both of them annoy me. I have waves of pity and annoyance for Favre. Vick has done his time. What he does now is up to him and will prove if he is a human.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:06 pm, Yo is Me Says:
1.) one dollar. my boyfriend’s daughter writes letters to the tooth fairy. she asked for a toy car last time. she did not get a toy car this time, and was disappointed in her dollar. i told her tooth fairies don’t give toys. she said her friend got a toy car. seriously, she was VERY disappointed in the tooth fairy. she’s 7. i’d like to give it up so she can disappoint her friend who got a car. is that mean?
5.) outlander by diana gabaldon. apparently it’s a whole series i didn’t know about. i’ve been sucked in. read it. and then get rid of the tooth fairy. because time travel is more believeable. believable. whatev.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:06 pm, Yo is Me Says:
wooops! and i can’t count. 5 was 4.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:22 pm, Suzy Voices Says:
1. A buck or two
2. There’s no tooth fairy????
3. Nope. Although I read my son’s birthday post to him.
4. Almost Moon by Alice Sebold. Yikes…
5. Most definitely.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:57 pm, Tracey Says:
1. $1/Sacagawea coin per tooth, fairy dust and a small gift. Nothing if the tooth has a cavity or filling.
2. Yes.
3. N/A no blog.
4. Eragon, The Sugar Queen, What your fifth grader needs to know, and Emergency food storage & survival handbook: everything you need to know to keep your family safe in a crisis. (Ok – Yes, I am pretty weird).
5. Tired of Favre and sick of Vick, hey I’m going to get that on a t-shirt!
August 21st, 2009 at 7:21 pm, M&Co. Says:
1. $5 for the first tooth and a gold dollar thereafter. No real reason, except that we had a $5 bill.
2. No. Though when they make that Santa Clause connection, the others E.B. & T.F. soon follow.
3. No.
4. Odd Thomas books by Dean Koontz. Great reads!
5. Yes.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:21 pm, Lisse Says:
1. $1. I can’t believe your kids are old enough to lose teeth.
2. There will always be a Santa Claus.
3. My kids do not know I have a blog. They do not yet know what a blog is.
4. Russka (again), Sun After Dark (Pico Iyer),
5. Michael Vick – I tend to believe that we are a nation of second chances. Brett Favre has had his two.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:19 am, Christoph Says:
1. There is no tooth fairy in Germany. All my teeth were put in a little wooden container, where they remain to this day. This so if a demon ever tries to steal your soul you can pay them off with the teeth. That last part’s made up, but I needed a strong finish.
2. I guess this depends on how much they like presents.
3. N/A
4. To honor Darwin year, I’m reading The Origin of Species. Not the best decision as it’s a little on the dry side.
5. Just get over it already start watching soccer.
August 25th, 2009 at 2:20 pm, Kellyn Says:

1. We haven’t had to deal with the tooth-fairy yet. (but… it sounds like that tooth fairy is in trouble… http://www.mytrendytykes.com/2009/08/letter-to-national-toothfairy.html)
2. No tooth fairy????? How can you even think that???
3. Zoe likes to look at the pictures of herself… and the videos. She also likes to look at the photos of other kids on other blogs.
4. The House of Night series. Easy quick reading. All I have time for right now.
5. Um… sorry… I’ve stopped paying any attention to what’s going on there.

1. It was 20p in my day but I hear it’s up to £1 now.
2. Quite probably.
3. He doesn’t really read yet, so I’m lucky for the moment.
4. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead cos I never really grew up and stopped reading YA.
5. I keep my head in the sand so really have no clue what you’re on about, other than that they seem to be rather controversial characters whose escapades have not yet made it across to the UK.

Yes. I have been an Eagles fan for 33 years (my whole life) and grew up in Philly. The day they signed Vick I took the Eagles sticker off of my car. And, I just hope no one covers Favre’s “retirement” in the future.
