Lifes Like That

It’s quite amazing how kids will adjust to a loved one’s death and how they will rationalize it into something that makes sense to them.  This is exactly what my kids have done to be able to cope with the death of their grandmother.  Since Grammie’s passing, they have decided that she is up in heaven as the “Senior Tooth Fairy”.  This means that every time the kids loose a tooth, Grammie will arrive at their house to give them money.  So, in their minds, Grammie has been at their house twice this weekend to deliver money.  This makes them happy knowing that she has a job to do and each time they loose a tooth, Grammie will be around them.  If this is the only way that they can rationalize their loss, then it’s OK with me and I’ll play along for as long as I can.
