Tooth Fairy

Kyla is very interested in the tooth fairy.  Kids in her class have been losing teeth since the beginning of the school year and she can't wait to get her first loose tooth.  (Poor girl, she got her teeth late, so it might be a while till she starts losing them.)

Kyla: Is there more than one Tooth Fairy?
(before I had a chance to think of an answer)
Kyla: Is the Tooth Fairy nocturnal?

Easter

Kyla: Why does the Easter Bunny bring different things to different people?
Me: I guess the Easter Bunny knows that everyone likes different things.
Kyla: Oh.  Well, Jacky got a golden egg and I really wanted a golden egg, too.
