I believe in the magic of childhood. Anything can be real to you as a child. Whenever I was told something as a child such as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy I would always believe it. The first time that I learned about the Tooth Fairy was when I was five. I was eating a lollipop and I bit down on it and a tooth fell out of my mouth. I thought that I was going to have to go to the hospital to have my tooth put back in. When I went to go tell my mom what had happened, she told me that it was normal for kids baby teeth to fall out and new adult teeth would replace the old ones as I got older. She also explained to me that you could only lose each tooth once. So I shouldn’t try to get them out or I would have a missing tooth for the rest of my life.

I decided to try and make my other teeth fall out. Despite my mom telling me that they would come out later, I wanted to have money, so I pulled and twisted to get my other teeth to come out. I somehow painfully got another tooth to come out. It was bleeding pretty bad and it also hurt a lot, so I just decided to let them fall out on their own and take the two dollars from the other two teeth. That night, I put my two teeth under my pillow and fell asleep. In the morning under my pillow there were two dollar bills I was super excited, because that was the most money I had ever had at one time. I took it to the money to the store and bought a toy that I had been wanting to buy. The next day, I felt another tooth getting loose, I was going to pull it out but then remembered how much it had hurt to pull out a tooth that wasn’t ready to fall out. I waited for that one to fall out on its own. It fell out about 5 days later and I got another dollar. This time I wanted to save my dollar instead of spending it right away. This story about the tooth fairy has helped me realize how important the magic of childhood is, and how childhood shapes us to who we are when we are
