    My parents always left me a dollar under my pillow, and that’s what I give to my kids as well. Sometimes I’ll leave other gifts along with the dollar.

Mithing Tooth
by Anonymous

I’m having trouble thpeaking,
thinthe I lotht my middle tooth.
Jutht yethterday my tooth wath fine –
today it wiggled loothe.

At firtht I thought it thilly,
when my tooth fell out today,
But no one theems to underthtand
a thingle word I thay.

I athked my mom to clothe the door,
she said “I cannot make it.
The door does not like wearing clothes;
it’s happier when naked.”

I athked if I could have a mouthe,
I promithed I would feed it,
“Another mouth to feed?” she athked,
“I’m certain we don’t need it!”

I wonder if you underthtand
the thircumthtanthe I’m in.
I told her I wath feeling thick.
She thaid “you’re looking thin.”

At latht she thaw how mad I wath,
Ath if I may thtop breathing.
She laughed and thaid she didn’t mean it –
She wath only teething.
