i think she died....

Dawson's wearing a festive jack-o-lantern smile these days. He's been losing a tooth a week since school started. Okay, not really! He has lost 3 teeth since the first day of school,which was back in August. If you were counting, that would be 3 teeth in 5 weeks. Nearly, a tooth a week.
This pattern of events has created a reputation for Dawson within the walls of DC Elementary.
At school, when one loses a tooth, they briefly get a moment of fame...
all of your peers "want to see", you then begin your walk to the school nurse, passing the offices ladies, to pickup the prized treasure chest to hold your lost tooth. Mrs. Graves, Dawson's 1st grade teacher, also places the child's name on the tooth chart in the classroom.
This experience is similar to having your own star on Hollywood Blvd.,
and taking that long walk of fame, 3 times!

Unfortunately, since Dawson arrived home last Wednesday with another treasure chest, the tooth fairy has failed to visit. This morning as Dawson awoke, he walked his little fingers under his pillow in search of his $$ from the tooth fairy. When his fingers wrapped up that treasure chest, again, he threw up his pillow and hollered to anyone who may be listening...
"I think the tooth fairy died!"

Hopefully she'll come tonight?
