the tooth shall set you free

susanna lost her second tooth a few weeks back and began peppering us with questions that only the tooth fairy herself could answer.  (and yes, i know i'm the most terrible mother of a second child, whose first lost tooth didn't even garner a passing mention in the blog ... suffice it to say that it happened sometime in late summer and it thankfully did not involve me in the least.)
