Eating Air and othe glorious ponderings..

"Mom" 

Yes Ittie

"mom"

Yes Ittie

MOMMMMmmmmm

YES ITTIE..

My Tooth is loose .. look..  "she wiggles the front tooth bag and forth proudly"

Can I eat an apple, Will the tooth fairy be able to find my tooth if it got stuck in the apple and we threw it away.  

Yes Ittie we would get it out of the apple before we threw it away.

"what if you didn't mom"

Well .. The tooth fairy has magic and would find the tooth Ittie..

"Would I get money for it"

Yes Ittie the tooth fairy is in charge of tooth collection and she pays for any tooth.

"What if a dog ate the apple before we got the tooth out of it and it was in the dogs belly."

(note refrain from going through where the tooth will come out of)

Harriet pipes in at my ponderment of dog digestion and says.. The tooth fairy's magic wand brings the tooth up and out of the dogs tummy through the mouth while the dog sleeps so she would still get it..

(Thank God for Harriet because all I had was well she will do what mommy has had to do when the dog has eaten other valuables wait on nature .. all things pass)

Ittie goes back to waggling the tooth..

later at friends house>
"Diane look my tooth is loose"

We have some string and a doorknob.. wrap it around there all said with a smirk..

Avery looks at Diane suspiciously moves to the other side of the counter just for good measure..  "no"  waggle waggle waggle with the tooth.. But look it wiggles.

"Do you have and apple"

"mom'
Yes Ittie
"mom"
Yes Ittie
"Mommmmmm"
Yes Itttttttieeeeee

"When I have no teeth will I be able to eat"

(no teeth is she talking in senior citizen years.. nah.. OK>>> um how to answer)

Ittie your teeth aren't going to all fall out at once.. Some will fall out as others are growing in.

"MOm"
Yes Ittie..

"So when I have no teeth it will be hard to eat apples.. "

(OK well that one didn't work.. I look over to see her making the lips over teeth "gum face" smacking them together and making verbal like sounds.. trying to figure out what it will be like.. Yep she's lost in this ponder for a bit)

Yep Ittie you will have to eat it as Apple Sauce.
"HMMM"

 

Mom..
Yes Ittie
Mom
Yes Ittie.
MOm
Ittie..

If the ground caved into a big hole and the train with people crashed into it.. and no one was hurt but they lived underground and never came back up..

(What has she been watching at her fathers!! ) OK Ittie??

Except to eat catch and eat people .. and if it was for real not fake what would you think..

(WHAAAT.. channel calmness..) Well Ittie I would be happy that everyone was initially safe from the wreck but would find it gross and hope that they would stop eating people.

"OH..  What if they grabbed me and took me in the hole.."

That's easy Ittie I would have to dive down in the hole.. fight them and get you to safety because I am a mama bear and will protect you..grrrr (since we are talking about reality here)


<Ittie smiles>< yep that was what we were going for >

"AHHHHHHHH...."

What are you doing Ittie

"Eating Air.. .... AHHHH... It's good you should try it.. AHHHHH"

<two different >AHHHHH .. Yep Ittie this is Pretty good air.

This is my life right now.. an imaginative world full of adventure.  Secret questions of safety and worth built into stories. 

The world around me has become big again as clouds become the shapes of creatures named and in the imagination.  Stories waiting to be told.   The Pond on the farm I hear has a big sea creature sometimes nice sometimes not.  Avery seems to be the only one who has spotted it so far. 

There are wood sprites and water fairies. Angels and monsters.  Wee People and giants.  Magic and sparkles.  Pirates and Mermaids. .. All in the land of the Mighty Pink Princess.

This brief moment in our journey is a glorious one..I bathe in it's energy and challenge of the ordinary.
