lock the doors, the toothfairy's coming

cody's tooth is loose! wow, our little baby. he's almost 6. right on time, by the handbook. this is SO exciting!!

"why doesn't god like me?" was our first hint that this experience was NOT going to go exactly according to the handbook.
"why is god breaking me?"
cody starts to wail. "i'm breaking!"

we pull out our best we-know-just-what-to-say faces, and explain all about teeth, and how he will get new big ones, and how the toothfairy will come to our house and put a present under his pillow.......and...and...

he starts to calm down
"will she bring me a jeep?"
we tell him a jeep won't fit under the pillow.
"well," he says. "she could just leave the keys under the pillow, and the jeep could be outside"............

at which point (little sister) tyler pipes up, "whaddaya mean some lady is flying into our room in the middle of the night?"
and then SHE starts wailing. and won't go to sleep in her room.

where is that handbook?
