Tooth Fairy and Daddy

On our way to church this morning, as usual we turned on to NPR's This American Life.  The program was about child psychology, sounded interesting, so we listened on.  Without warning, the story began to talk about how a little girl found out the tooth fairy was her best friend's Dad.  I don't want the kids to listen anymore but it's too late.

T commented first, " I know, Daddy is the tooth fairy."
"Are you sure?" I replied innocently.
"Daddy and Mommy are Santa too." She continued without a pause.
The rest of the kids started rumbling on the backseats.
E protested, "if Daddy turns into the tooth fairy, then we don't have Daddy anymore."

We all burst into laugh.
