Tooth Fairy

Sima has a loose tooth. He told me not to tell Mama when it falls out - so that he could check if the tooth-fairy is real.
When I told Mama (in front of him) that he has a loose tooth he squinted at me and smiled distrustingly. The main reason he believes in the tooth-fairy (as he told me a few months ago) is that he always gets a golden dollar coin under his pillow "and nobody has that many dollar coins". Similarly, he still believes in Father Frost (Ded' Moroz) because he got a watch from him last New Years, and Mama and Papa knew that he already had a watch.

I watched the Germany-Argentina game, grow more cynical than ever when I read the news, and met up with Adrienne in Central Square when she visited from Vermont.
