The Tooth Fairy

    Remember when you were little and you had a loose tooth? And then the next day or so you would pull it out and your parents told you to put it under your pillow, so you did. You wake up and you look under your pillow and all of a sudden your tooth is gone and in exchange you received money. Your parents would tell you that the Tooth Fairy came and took your tooth and gave you money. February 28th is National Tooth Fairy Day and I choose this day to write about because pulling out my baby teeth and putting them under my pillow for exchange of money is one of my best and favorite childhood memories. The story of the Tooth fairy started with stories about a Tooth Mouse who scampers around town and steals children's teeth in the middle of the night. The story of the mouse evolved into the story of the Tooth Fairy who leaves treasures under children's pillows in exchange for their lost teeth. Tooth Fairy stories are a part of every kid’s memory and are still very common today. Children everywhere around the world put their lost baby teeth under their pillows and wait for the surprise in the morning. So on the 28th of February remember to tell your friends and family Happy National Tooth Fairy Day!
