Godmothers

There are two main types of Godmothers . . . Fairy Godmothers and Regular Godmothers. I’d like to take a moment to compare the two.

Fairy Godmothers turn pumpkins into coaches that take you to the ball
Regular Godmothers turn pumpkins into Jack-O-Lanterns that roll down the steps like a ball

Fairy Godmothers turn rags into beautiful ball gowns
Regular Godmothers turn rags into togas

Fairy Godmothers turn sandals into beautiful glass slippers
Regular Godmothers turn flip flops into carpet skates

Fairy Godmothers bring you handsome princes
Regular Godmothers bring you gum

Fairy Godmothers wave their magic wand and give you a beautiful smile with sparkling white teeth
Regular Godmothers grab a pliers, rip your loose tooth out of your mouth, and give you a gap-toothed grin!

Yes, this photo was staged after-the-fact, but I had to get a picture of the pliers that Queen Taunya wielded to perform the deed. Two amazing things occurred with the extratction of the tooth. First, QT does NOT do loose teeth, blood, or anything else similar. But, she took one for the team and volunteered to rip the tooth out of her Goddaughter’s mouth because there was no way Princess was going to let me do it. Second, it took 2 yanks to get the tooth out. No, not because the tooth was so attached, but the first time, QT didn’t have a good enough grip on the tooth, so the pliers flew right off. Princess actually let her re-engage and yank again!

Here’s Princess holding some ice on her slightly bleeding tooth crater while getting some lovin’ from QT. Princess really was a trooper - she didn’t even cry!

Here’s the crater! And for anyone who thinks we yanked her tooth out prematurely and should have let it fall out completely on her own, I offer exhibit A above. See the adult tooth growing in behind it? She was starting to look like a shark with her multiple rows of teeth. The tooth behind was just growing in crooked instead of underneath the baby tooth, so the roots were not going to dissolve anymore.

Last but not least, my beautiful BABY holding her BABY tooth in one hand and the Tooth Fairy pillow in the other. My baby has lost her first tooth.

And I must give kuddos to my wonderful sensitive Dude, the big brother. He was SOOOOO nice to Princess while she was getting her tooth ripped out of her mouth and couldn’t wait to get her Tooth Fairy pillow for her. She was so happy and excited and he was so happy and excited for her - I think he was as happy as she was.
