A cool gurl.

One of the coolest blogs I read belongs to a girl named McGillicutty. She's fourteen (thirteen?). Her dad and my husband were in a college band together. Their family hangs out with ours sometimes. We like them. A lot.


Anyway, I'd send you over to read her blog but I don't know if her mom would like that and unless I hear differently, you'll have to take my word for it that this girl is a Cool Chick. Great taste in books and movies, etc. 


But wait . . . I suppose I could give you a sample. Here's an excerpt from her blog today:


*Scaffy (her little brother) lost ANOTHER tooth! his teeth are falling out like popcorn. anyways when his last one fell out he left a note for the tooth fairy, asking questions like 'Are you a boy or a girl?' 'What do you do with the teeth?' stuff like that.

And the amazing Tooth Fairy (coughMoicough) answered him thusly:
"Dear Scaffy,
Thank you so much for your letter! I love hearing from children. I hope you understand that the work of a fairy must remain a mystery, so I cannot answer all your questions. But some of them I would be delighted to answer! I am not from your planet Earth. I live in the realm of the teeth, that no human could ever hope to see. In my realm, I plant your teeth like seeds in my garden, and from the seeds grow trees with money on them! Also, I have never lost a tooth myself. That is one of the reasons why I find teeth so interesting. How big am I? I've never actually measured myself, so I don't know for sure. Lets just say that I am big enough to lift your head from your pillow, but small enough to fly out your bedroom window (and yes of course I can fly!) Thank You again for your letter, Scaffy. Enjoy spending your money!
Love,
The Tooth Fairy

You rock, McGillicutty. You so rock. And yes, the rest of you may be jealous now that you don't know her.
