C lost a tooth yesterday and the Tooth Fairy visited her. I accompanied her to the school book fair with the proceeds from her tooth. I hate teeth; they give me the creeps.

I had to explain Thanksgiving to the girls in the car this morning. They didn’t understand why people are “so crazy” about Thanksgiving, especially because there are no presents involved. Basically, I summed it up as this: When you’re a grown-up, you have lots of responsibilities and stress (insert explanation of both responsibility and stress here), and sometimes you think more about the bad and crazy things in your life than the good. But on Thanksgiving, you are supposed to be thankful (insert explanation of being thankful here), and that makes you stop and think more about the good things in your life. It makes you realize that your life might not be as bad or crazy as you think.

Today’s StoryCorps on NPR was very touching. I love StoryCorps.
