Bonus from the Tooth Fairy

Jayden has the most infectious laugh - his eyes crinkle up, his freckles pop out, and he usually has a great story that you just can't help chuckle over.

Today's story was a corker. Loose teeth are rampant in a family of five youngin's. You never know when a gleaming treasure is going to be thrust under your gaze to admire, along with all the details of how it happened.
First he showed me the two quarters - a slightly larger than normal bounty. When he explained that he lost the tooth when he bit into a frozen pancake, I understood. Bribery. Plain and simple.
It sounds worse than the reality. The kid LIKES frozen pancakes. Honest.
