Here’s the best I can come up with:
Does anyone besides me find it odd that people will come to your door soliciting your business or attention (house painting, stucco repair, charity, religion) but not bother to pick up the morning newspaper in the driveway and hand it to you as an act of kindness?
It was cool enough today I had to turn off the ceiling fans. Fall, which is awesome in Albuquerque, comes on fast at 6,000 feet above sea level.
Mack, the oldest Sweetie, has lost his first baby tooth. He decided he could wait until his daddy returned from a business trip for the tooth fairy to visit. (Realizing full well in his little nearly 5-year-old mind, I assume, that daddy spends more freely than mommy.)
I’ve thought the same thing about the newspaper before!
I resent your implication that Mack’s mature and lovely gesture of paternal inclusion could be based on greed. Please remember that Mack has no idea that either of his parents have anything to do with what the Tooth Fairy leaves for him. (Now decided to be a Sacagawea dollar.)
Funny, I thought the same thing about both the paper and Mack’s lovely gesture of parental inclusion. We must be related. 😉
