Conversations with Megan

Megan :  Mum, can you pull my tooth out so that I can get some money from the Tooth Fairy?

Me:  Megan, you can't just pull a tooth out because you want money! 

Megan:  But its a little loose.

Me:  Yes, but its got to come out on its own. 

Megan:  But its a baby tooth.  I can grow another one.

Me :  Geezo Megan!  What if I punched you in the mouth and your two BIG front teeth fell out?  Those are your adult teeth and you can't grow more after that.

My Boerewors :  If I knocked my teeth out, will the Tooth Fairy give me money for my big teeth?

Megan:  *shrug* I dunno. 

*pause*

Megan :  Mum, why don't you phone Granny and ask her - she's loosing her teeth!

Fits of laughter followed that conversation...
