A few weeks ago my mom was telling Noah a story about when she was a young girl and lived close to some train tracks. She told him that the hobos would knock at their door and her mom would have them sit on the porch and give them something to eat.
When Noah lost his second tooth he told me that we had to clean it really good cause the tooth fairies used the teeth as light bulbs to regenerate their electricity. There was a little bit of blood in the tooth that I couldn't get out and he told me that we could just give it to a "hobo fairy". It had been weeks since my mom's story and so it took me a minute to understand what he was saying. Then Noah wanted to make an envelope for the tooth and put a Reese cup with the tooth as a special surprise. Next he wrote a note that said:
"Please take this tooth to a hobo fairy. And please take this Reese's to a hobo fairy.
To: Hobo Fairy From: Noah Please talk to me."
Of course I couldn't resist having the hobo fairy write him a note back. Ben used his fancy handwriting skills and made the paper look old and singed around the edges and I wrote a little thank you poem. Noah was so excited to see that the hobo fairy had actually left him a note!
This child never ceases to amaze me with his awesome imagination.
