That is the question - does the tooth remain beneath the pillow, or not?
"That's a very good point," says Littlest, index finger pointing in the air.
This is her subsequent explanation of what should happen:
"The tooth fairy puts the money in her rucsac. Then she goes in her Penelope car, even if she is not going to France, because, remember, she lives in Granny's garden, which is quite a very long distance away. When she arrives, she puts the money under the pillow. But she doesn't take the tooth away. She only takes a littlest, tiniest chip of the tooth. She collects loads of them up, then, when she thinks she's got enough to build a massive house, she builds a big tooth out of all the little chips of teeth, and she gets a pencil for the chimney and a lampshade for a roof and she sews - in/out/in/out - all the bits together.
But, also, at about three hours past midnight, after she's got the chip of tooth and has put it in her rucsac, she gets her bedding out of the rucsac and she hides in one of the shoes in daddy's wardrobe. Because she has to see when and how the children get the money and keep the tooth - then she can go back and tell the other tooth fairies all about it."
So, to any other parents who have ever considered this dilemma, the tooth must remain beneath the pillow, beside the money.
But how exactly does the tooth fairy take a littlest, tiniest chip out of the tooth - fairy hammer, fairy hacksaw - does she have one of those in her rucsac, too? Would she lend it to other fairies?
