The weather forecast for Southern Ontario is dire for tonight and tomorrow. They are predicting a lot of snow and a horrible, garish drive in the morning. All of the news stations are leading with this life changing story that will be bound to alter the history of humanity. Or this storm will never happen and we will get all bent out of shape for nothing. I am betting on the nothing. I am going to get everything I need prepared today, I am going to take my computer home and I am going to be ready for my lovely travel to Sudbury on Sunday a day ahead of time and it will be for nothing. I don’t trust the forecast. These are the same people that predicted a colder than normal winter and I have been wearing shorts to the gym most evenings since it has been downright balmy. Balmy!
Once the news was over reporting about how terrible this oncoming torrent of storm will be, they told me that the poor economy has had an effect on the tooth fairy. Apparently her (or his if you like Dwayne Johnson) average tooth price has dropped to $2.52 a tooth to $2.10. So not only are gas prices high, but kids are getting ripped off for their teeth. The economy is affecting everyone. Of course the tooth fairy really doesn’t exist in my house. I think we mention it a few times but the idea of some crazy woman coming into your house to take your teeth is a little creepy. What the hell does she do with the teeth anyway? I don’t think you can spin this in a good light. It could also be a little creepy to find out how she knows you’ve even lost a tooth. At least Santa has elves to do his work. What does she have? Orcs? Gremlins? Jawas? It can be quite perplexing. I just picture this fairy with millions of teeth and cackling as she strokes each one.
So if you are counting (or are a regular enough reader to pick up on it), I am not okay with a Bunny that leaves behind chocolate eggs or a fairy that pays children for their dead teeth. I am apparently okay with a fat old man that breaks into your house and leave presents and I suppose I am okay with a little naked cherub boy that shoots arrows through people’s hearts in the name of love. I am ambivalent on the Great Pumpkin.
I was going to post a picture of the Tooth Fairy but Google Images is a scary place. There are far too many men dressed up and no one seems to have a consensus on what the Tooth Fairy should look like. This is when we need Coke to use her as a marketing ploy.
So instead of searching the internet for a disturbing picture of a dude dressed up as a fairy, I will just use a disturbing picture of me dressed up as a fairy.
