Late Night Visitor

As a new(er) father, I am still surprised at all the little secrets that older parents haven’t let me in on. This is especially true when it comes to many of the childhood myths.

A few nights ago, we had a late night visitor. And trust me, nothing is more disturbing than going to check on your child and finding a sprightly woman in tights and wings standing over his crib. No one had ever told me that the 25¢ you get under your pillow when you lose a tooth is really just getting your parents’ deposit back.
