First Tooth Fairy Visit!

Posted: 30th July 2008 by T.F.P. in Life

My son lost his first tooth last night (lower right central incisor) as he was sitting on the couch playing his Nintendo DS. He was so excited about it because one of his friends already lost a tooth and did the whole Tooth Fairy thing, and my boy was anxious to “catch up” in that [...]

One thing I hate about summer vacation is that it seems as though every place I go is far more crowded than usual. For example, I tried going to Burger King for lunch today, but it was overflowing with other parents taking their kids there, so I had to settle for the drive-thru. I also [...]

$25,000 Steve Bartman Autograph
