It's Exciting!

       So what is it that really excites you? I'm mean REALLY excites you. The kind of excitement that you just can't get out of your head. That monopolizes your thoughts, that affects your ability to concentrate. That thing that you just can't wait to share with your friends and co-workers, and anyone else who will lend an ear.
To a five year old, that thing... is a loose tooth.

      Now to you and I, a child's missing tooth may just mean a funny, gap toothed smile. To his/her mother, it is a tragedy before picture day. But to a five-year old, it means "I'm growing up!" 
         Even more important than the thrill of the treasure that the tooth fairy brings, is the pride that they feel when they show off the gap in their head that shouts to the world, "I won't be little forever!"
