Kate [after discovering her handwritten note to the Tooth Fairy, with accompanying tooth, in her parents' closet]: Mom! Why do you have my note to the Tooth Fairy?!
Mom [after considering whether or not to level with Kate]: It's me. I'm the Tooth Fairy.
Kate: Mom, don't be ridiculous. The Tooth Fairy is small and has wings. And, anyway, you can't even get up early in the morning.
[Editor's note: After subsequently interviewing Kate about her experience and asking her opinion why Mom would tell such a fib, Kate confidently told me that Mom was likely just trying to assume the Tooth Fairy's credit.]
