planning to take out a loan...

Have noticed Nicholas doing a lot of weird oral sorts of thrusting his tongue and what not, so me thinks teeth are on their way. Instead of probing around his mouth like an idiot, I thought it best to check the scale of when the teeth should start arriving, though I am sure fussiness, his desire not to sleep, and the possible future of baby cranky will be clear evidence to a dental insurgence. Then I remembered that the tooth fairy will need to visit and give money for the pre-used cuspids. When I was little...in the 70s...I think I got a dollar. With inflation, I am sure Patrick I will be out a $100 dollars for each tooth. On second thought I will tell Nicky that the Tooth Fairy went bankrupt, and did not get a government bailout, fled the country to live in her million dollar estate in Spain. Thus, there are no more free handouts for bloody pre-used cuspids. Yep, that seems like the perfect idea...later I will line the therapy up for my child.
