11. Tell about the "Tooth Fairy" and other personages you remember

We didn’t have a whole lot of money when I was a kid. Remember the kid count up above so no tooth fairy that I recall when I was a kid. Santa was living in the same situation as the tooth fairy, in my imagination. Since I wasn’t getting the treats from these characters, I stored them away for future use.

When my son Andy was born and started to grow up I learned something about him. Bless his little heart, he believed everything I told him. Everything folks! So when he was around 8 years old it was Easter time. I had gone out and built him an Easter Basket and filled it with all kinds of goodies. I loved doing this for my kids, and as the years went by, I had more fun.

So finally, the night before the big Easter egg hunt, we were sitting in the kitchen. We lived out in the country, so there weren’t any surrounding lights to keep the outside lit. When we looked outside, it was freaking dark. We were sitting in the kitchen and talking about the Easter bunny. We told Andy he was outside hiding eggs for him right as we spoke. Andy started to turn around to try and catch a glimps of the big rabbit, but we stopped him. “Don’t look Andy, he will run away” we told him that and he believed me. We went on to tell him all kinds of stuff about the Easter bunny and he sat there wide eyed sucking it all in.

The next day, he went out and found all the eggs the big bunny had hid for him and ate all the candy in his basket. I loved him so much at that age. He would make me giggle at the funniest things.
