I’m in with a slice about my brief stint as the Tooth Fairy.
https://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/i-was-the-tooth-fairy/
Thanks for writing about being a clever and efficient tooth fairy. I’m excited to read how your usurper deals with the task. We’re expecting our first child in November and I forgot that tooth fairy is among the list of things that will change in your life after you have a baby.
I think your story about teeth will inspire my post: I grew up with a dental hygienist mom. It was all about teeth.
