Plan on telling your kids that the tooth fairy is actually more harpie-like, clinging upside down to the ceiling with her talons, staring down at children with her glowing yellow eyes and suddenly pouncing to take the child's lost teeth to continue making a necklace from them, leaving behind lose change which it took from those unfortunate enough to spy upon it during their waking moments. Add to that myth by marking up the ceiling with great gashes as though some creature had been worrying itself back and forth with great concentration. The kids will love it!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
