All I Want For Christmas Is...

my two front teeth. When you live with a bunch of six, seven and eight year olds, someone is always losing a tooth or two. Daniela is showing her two missing front teeth. Customs are quite different here than in the States. In a third world country where so much poverty exists, there is no tooth fairy. The kids take their tooth, go outside, stand with their back to the house. Then they throw the tooth over their shoulder onto the roof while making a wish. With 19 kids, that saves a lot of money.

Brazilian kids do the same thing with their teeth. Funny.
