Henry recently lost his first tooth...and I mean he really lost it. We have no idea where it went, except for our speculation that he swallowed it. He must have been a little freaked out because he didn't even tell us that he had lost the tooth. I came home from work and thought I noticed extra space in his mouth, but when I asked him to smile he blocked his bottom teeth with his top ones, so I didn't see the hole in the bottom row. A little later Aunt Julie confirmed that he had, indeed, lost his tooth. He fessed up to losing it when he bumped into the bookshelf down in the Schuetz's basement - he was probably doing something he shouldn't have!
Fortunately the Toothfairy accepted a note in lieu of the actual tooth, and she left Henry a dollar under his pillow. The next morning, I overheard Henry telling Josh that he didn't believe in the Toothfairy. Josh asked, "Then how did that money get under your pillow?" Henry replied, "Dad, there are a couple of reasonable explanations." Before Henry could think too hard about what those might be I jumped in, "Well, if you don't believe in the Toothfairy, she might not bring you any money anymore." Very quickly Henry backtracked, "I mean, I do believe in the Toothfairy!"

About Me

- My maternal grandmother had 10 children. Somehow she managed to find the time to write down the funny things her kids said over the years. These writings came to be known as the "funny book." Her oldest child, my mother, kept the tradition alive by writing her own funny book to record all the cute - and sometimes weird- things that my four sisters and I said and did as we grew up. After several years of being remiss in my duties as recorder of all things funny for my own family, I started this blog as the modern version of the funny book. I hope you enjoy it.
