A few years ago I told Max the truth about the Tooth Fairy. And just like our Credit Fairy conversation, it took months to finally convince him. Sadly, I feel another long and drawn out debate about his teeth looming.
Despite the name, Anna and I have assured Max that he is not directly related to Elephas maximus. Therefore, he will not slowly lose 6 sets of molars and die of starvation. If he continues to brush and floss regularly, then he'll enjoy apples and bacon for quite a long time.
As of yesterday he still seemed a bit skeptical. Anna finally promised to sell her collection of limited edition Van Briggle pottery if he ever needs dentures. I hope that ends the conversation.
I love Max's smile.
