My 6 year old lost her first tooth today prompting her to ask this question:

“Is there any scientific proof the Tooth Fairy exists or is it just the parents?”

She hasn’t asked about Santa yet, but I’m sure it’s coming.

My  husband and I were watching CNN this weekend.  They briefly covered the wedding of one of the President’s daughters.  During the piece they showed images of the town it was held in and commented that the gift shops on the town’s small main street were sold out of items like mugs and mouse pads commemerating the event.  This struck me as odd as they are not royals and we are not England.  I said,

“Who would buy such an item?” and my husband replied,

“The same people who buy dinner plates with Marylin Monroe on them”.
