A very long time ago, far, far away,

She was so alone and was really quite sad.
To keep herself busy she planted some seeds,
She’d work in her garden and pull all the weeds,
After some time, and lots of sunshine,
Her garden did grow many flowers so fine.
The ...[text shortened]... hat she’d always trade teeth for a fee,
And this is how she became the Tooth Fairy.

Very nice. Did you write that?
Yes, I typed it. It's original. Wrote it for my son, read it after he lost his first tooth. We do the rhyming notes under the pillow and everything, it's a lot of fun.

Geez, I guess I need to tone it down a bit.

Its a lovely prose, and well written! Ever consider writing for children professionally?
You could write 'em, your son could illustrate them!

Originally posted by NatsiaThank you. Yes, I considered it, but it's one of those things...too busy to do much with anything, or lacking the motivation.

I think both my son and I lack the patience to illustrate a book. I gave this one a shot, and it came out nice, but I'm far from "professional" level.

I love making up stories for my kids, it's rewarding.
Maybe it'll be enough that he'll tell it to his childeren and so on.
