This question riddled the best minds at GFW all day afternoon Wednesday as Avi lost his first tooth, midday, while he was eating an apple (for the express purpose of facilitating the expulsion of his loose tooth). All we found was a spot of blood on the apple–the tooth was never seen again! (you can click on the pictures to get a bigger version)
After mommy assured Avi that no harm would come from accidentally swallowing his tooth (“it will just come out when you go to the bathroom”, mommy offered. “I sure hope it doesn’t come out of my penis!” Avi responded), the discussion began about whether the Tooth Fairy would still come. Avi decided to write the Tooth Fairy a letter (complete with illustration), explaining the predicament:
Avi’s note to the Tooth Fairy
Sure enough, it worked! The Tooth Fairy came! She wrote notes to BOTH Avi and Ezra (in tiny writing, because tooth fairies are tiny), grabbed something to drink, went to the bathroom before her long flight back, and sprinkled fairy dust in various places (including in the envelopes–she sort of made a mess). She also left Avi a toothbrush, some floss, and a $2 bill. Her notes:
Note to Avi
Note to Ezra
We posted a video of Avi taking you on a tour of what he found, now in the Photo Gallery.
Congrats, Avi! One down, 19 to go!
