Choclo and the Tooth Chicken

There are good things and bad things about being the fifth kid.


On the one hand, your worn down broken in highly experienced parents may forget to tell you that your baby teeth will fall out.

On the other hand, by the time you get your first wiggly tooth, The Tale of the Tooth Chicken has grown to epic proportions.

Some explanations were necessary, and we are very grateful that there were a good three weeks between, "Why is my tooth moving?" and, "My tooth came out!"

And the Tooth Chicken came through in a blinding flash of rainbow feathers.  This time he left a glittery ball and a light up top, both inexplicably green.
