As I approach, I see the person\u2019s profile; she is looking up at the stars. It is a common activity for us, to just sit and watch the stars shining upon the grass surrounding our home for the last month. I come up and sit next to her. We sit silently for a while, then I ask, \u201cDo you believe in the Tooth Fairy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p> I wake up to someone calling my name in a soft whisper, \u201cAndrea, Andrea.\u201d As I stir, I reach under my pillow and grope around for my watch. Groggily I look at the time, only ten o\u2019clock, one hour after the girls go to bed. Sitting up, I take care not to bump my head on the low ceiling; in hindsight it wasn\u2019t the smartest idea to take a top bunk in a cabin meant for preteens.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWhat is it, Abby?\u201d She had been getting homesick for the past couple nights, making me wonder if she is homesick again. \u201cI lost my tooth and my mouth is bleeding!\u201d \u201cOh.\u201d My brain freezes for a second, what to do, what to do\u2026.oh yeah, wash out the blood, it\u2019ll stop soon enough. \u201cOk Abby, let\u2019s go to the bathroom so we can see your tooth.\u201d We walk quietly out of the cabin, I don\u2019t want to wake the other girls, it\u2019ll be ages before we can get them back to sleep. The door creaks open, one increment at a time, until a sliver of bright yellow light falls upon the floor, just enough space for both of us to squeeze out into the center room. We walk unseen past the counselors in the center room, not that it matters; if a counselor in training can\u2019t handle a lost tooth\u2026.In the bathroom I get Abby to open her mouth to see where her tooth came from, then wet a bit of paper towel. \u201cLeave this over the hole till it stops bleeding a bit. Now let\u2019s see that tooth.\u201d I\u2019d forgotten just how small baby teeth are. \u201cSo Abby, are you going to leave it under your pillow for the Tooth Fairy?\u201d \u201cNo, \u2018cause the Tooth Fairy doesn\u2019t exist!\u201d I\u2019m surprised at that; I thought little kids tended to believe in the Tooth Fairy. \u201cWhat makes you say that?\u201d \u201cMy dad comes in as the Tooth Fairy when I\u2019m awake flapping his arms.\u201d Oh. That would do it. Well then. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be so sure. I bet you\u2019ll have some money under your pillow in the morning.\u201d We go back to the cabin, once again passing the counselors. \u201cOk Abby, time for you to go to bed otherwise you\u2019ll be all tired tomorrow morning. And put your tooth under the pillow and see what happens, hm?\u201d The next morning, I wake up at five, two hours before anyone else stirs. I know I have some money stashed in a book in my luggage\u2026now to find it. I root around my ten or so books, I really should have brought a few less\u2026ah there it is. Let\u2019s see\u2026a twenty, a ten, a five, another five\u2026don\u2019t I have any ones??? Guess not, it\u2019ll be a five then, lucky girl. My heart beats a little faster as I look around to make sure no one is waking up, then tiptoe next to Abby\u2019s bunk. Carefully, carefully\u2026slipping my hand just under her pillow, placing a five there. Oh no, she\u2019s stirring! I quickly retreat up my bunk and attempt to calm my rapid heartbeat. Now to see what happens in the morning\u2026.well two hours anyway. Two hours later, I get up to take a shower, and when I get back, everybody is up. \u201cSo Abby, is your tooth still there?\u201d \u201cYeah, and guess what!? I got SEVEN dollars!\u201d Oh. Guess I did have some ones after all. \u201cReally? See I told you the Tooth Fairy exists! What are you going to do with the tooth?\u201d \u201cKeep it till I get home then put it under my pillow for more money!\u201d Devious kid. I like it.<\/p>\n<p> On the porch, there is a pause. \u201cSo, do you believe in the Tooth Fairy?\u201d \u201cDoes it matter if I do or not? It\u2019s not like I have any more teeth to lose.\u201d \u201cNo it doesn\u2019t. Just wondering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the balmy summer night air, a shadowed figure sat motionless.
