Dentist

It is funny how you find things in the most unusual places sometimes. I don't know of anyone who may have this issue specifically, but I found this very interesting story while sitting at the Dentist office.

THE TOOTH FAIRY'S SISTER

Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething. - Mark Twain in Pudd'nhead Wilson

Erma had tow daughters, separated in age by about three years. As the children grew older, the eldest started losing her baby teeth. Naturally, these events were faithfully followed by visits from the Tooth Fairy.
It wasn't long before the younger child became jealous of the Tooth Fairy's favoritism toward her older sibling. "Mamma, how come the Tooth Fairy never visits me? It's not fair," she pouted.
Now at the time, Erma was trying to wean her youngest child from her pacifier. Suddenly, the concerned mother realized her daughter's envy could be put to good use. "Honey, Ive never told you about this before, but the Tooth Fairy has a sister named the Paci-Fairy. If you put your pacifier under your pillow tonight, I
ll bet the Paci-Fairy will visit you just like the Tooth Fairy visits your sister. "
The following morning, the youngster discovered a present under her pillow while the pacifier had magically disappeared. "Look, Mamma! Look! The Paci-Fairy gave me some money."
The contented child never asked for her pacifier again -- ever.

This was taken from Chicken soup for the Dental Soul.
Hope you enjoyed...
