Hi Carol

I found this to be a subtle, touching humor. I found it sweet that the little boy wanted to help, and the setup was well done in painting the scene for the end punchline image of the little boy asking the tooth fairy to pay the bills.

the end result was more of a awww that's so sweet of the child, then a chuckle, but it was warmly amusing, too.

    I guess lately that's about all the humor I can muster...Been trying to make myself write another Frankie story because I always feel better, but so far I can't conjure up anything. Thanks for the review...

    I do hope things turn for the brighter for you and smiles find their way to your door.

    My best wishes, Turtle.

Through a child's eyes we can always find humor, this is cute and believable, something my granddaughter would say. To give up your front teeth to get money for rent is priceless. Good luck in the contest. Judy

Out of the mouths of babes! Sometimes the kids have no idea, but ... we let them believe. I'd like to know how this was explained!
Good little read, funny, and good luck in the Contest.
Warmest regards

I found your work cute, funny and very sad, but not everything is happiness and comfort and there are many families going through this predicament.

I love the picture, it fits the work very well.

I wish you good luck in the contest.

    Deanita,

    Yes, our town has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country - including myself and my honey...guess I was reaching for a bit of silver lining somewhere. Thanks for the review. Smiles to you..

It is frightening how many people face similar situations.
All little Tommy wants, is to help his mother.
Best of luck,
Dearl

author, this is a cute story.
Children are precious and can say
the most wonderful things
and also the most embarrassing at times.

Well done, pat
