What’s the “tooth Worth These Days?

Now that’s. A mouthful….

Today is National Tooth Fairy  Day and since this blog has featured  theTF and other fictional children’s heroes we won’t go into the origin story.  This is more or less.a parental and grand parental update provided just protect your “cool quotient” by making sure  you are slipping the right reward. Under the pillow.  

According to Delta Dental the large dental insurance corporation the nationwide payout per tooth has risen to an all-time high of $4.70.  As with most things the cost is higher on the coasts averaging nearly a dolllar higher on the East Coast and about 75 cents higher in California.  It’s about a quarter and a nichel cheaper for tooth fairies who eat a lot of grits and whistle Dixie and nearly a dollar cheaper for tooth fairies  who know that dear is really spelled Deere and that you don’t pronounce the s in either Des or Moines.  

So…other than making sure we pay up for these markers of childhood what does the tooth fairy have to do with seeking peace and joy?   Well  just this

We should all pay some attention to what comes out of. Our mouths—-when seeking peace and joy

You see. If we would be willling to say “this is why I’m afraid of change”. Then those around us might be able to encourage us to make the leap and build the world we seek.  If we  were honest and the words “I just don’t understand, but explain your observation to me again” could come from our mouths instead of automatically closing our ears and our minds maybe  we could experiment and find lots of solutions to the complicated  obstacles that the universe  hands us…. In short if we become aware of our messages and their meanings we might find magic in what comes from our mouths and $4.70 would be the smallest of possible rewards…. For now let’s tie a string to out ignorance so the next time we are slamming a door a reward of wisdom might be had…..
