Is this where I insert the lame "now he's a loser" comment? Or should I go with the "pirate missing tooth" comment?
How abotu I tell a story. Once upon a time the eldest Smith boy lost a tooth. The custom of his day was to put said lost tooth into a plastic bag and place under the pillow. Said Smith boy then found a $20 bill under his pillow in the morning! The jubilation subsided when said Smith boy's mother realized the jubilation wasn't over a $5 bill. The $20 bill was to pay for gas. Needless to say Smith boy #1 had a $5 reward instead. Thankfully Smith boy #1 loves his mother very much to this day.
:) Good story Uncle Pete. You'll have to remind your brother Andy that you grew up with a "tooth fairy" because he's refusing at this point. Ryan's tooth is in his "All About Me' box to share at school. Maybe a slurpee instead of money under the pillow???

Congrats, Ryan! I love those times we can congratulate people for LOSING things! :)
