Like a Bad Dream

Have you ever had that nightmare that all your teeth are falling out?  I have, plenty, and it freaks me out every time.  Well, Dylan has lost 4 teeth in the last week - two of them just last night.  He realized one was loose, jiggled it, and it came out.  Then he realized the one next to it was loose, so he jiggled it and it came out too - just like my nightmare!  Only he is not freaked out about it.  He thinks its great.
Sadly, Dylan announced this morning that he now has 4 unclaimed teeth waiting under his pillow.  Oh my.  That tooth fairy of ours is such a slacker!  What is her problem?  I think it might be the economy, or maybe she just can't find her way to the bed in that messy room of theirs, or maybe she is just waiting for ALL of his teeth to fall out; a tooth bulk-buy program.
So am I the only one who has that recurring nightmare about the teeth?  And is your tooth fairy as lame as mine is?

Oh yes, that would be a nightmare--to have your teeth all fall out. But Dylan probably didn't look at it that way because he knew he was about to be enriched by the tooth fairy.

Dylan's nightmare was that the tooth fairy reneged, and he had to wake up the next morning toothless and broke.

It's probably the economy. I heard that tooth fairy stocks have dropped through the floor. Maybe Obama's stimulus package will help.

I have had the same nightmare. On my mission I was talking to a member who was well off and dressed really fancy, but while she was talking, one of her teeth was flapping around, and a few other teeth were missing. I had a horrible nightmare about all my teeth falling out that night, and I have never forgotten it. It must be a common fear/nightmare. But if they are just baby teeth, it is actually an en"rich"ing experience.

I have this exact nightmare, too! My teeth start to wiggle and are loose and then they all fall out! Maybe the tooth fairy is taking a much needed vacation, or should soon!

Our tooth fairy is REALLY bad! Andy's lost a new tooth just about one a month this year, and she royally screwed up the last time! When Andy woke up to find his tooth under the pillow still, I told him "she probably didn't get the message that you lost the tooth so late last night. I'll be sure to email her today to let her know not to forget!" She came that night bearing an extra quarter!

What lens did you use for this photo?? It's good! And so close-- it couldn't have been your 30 mm could it?
