Korean Tooth Fairy

For days now Jackson has been working on one of his baby molars, trying to get it loose enough to pull. He has had his hand in his mouth wiggling that tooth as much as possible. The rest of the time his face looked like that of a stroke victim as he wiggled the tooth with his tongue. I am happy to announce that the tooth is no longer in his mouth. Since he is 10, his younger sister is too young to figure it out, and we are in a foreign country, we decided that we should have a little fun with the tooth fairy. Jackson went to sleep with this tooth under his pillow just like he always has and Jason and I sat outside reminding each other to put money under the pillow. Eventually we decided that we would make it a bit more fun this time and put Korean money under his pillow. We snuck in his room and replaced the tooth with 1 dollar bill and 1000 won and then laughed ourselves to sleep. Jackson woke up this morning and brought me the money with a confused look on his face. We proceeded to tell him that the Korean tooth fairy must have taken his tooth, to which he shook his head and laughed back to his room. I would bet you anything that he is in his room right now trying to figure out how he can keep the Korean Santa Clause from visiting and get the American Santa Clause to make a special trip.
