Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, jarriere, mate! I'd send you one of Dayna's smaller bombs (teeth are harder to lose than pearl earrings--unless they're in a necklace; don't ask) if I knew where you were. Have a good one!

Happy birthday jarriere

Vila! *glomps* I got three necklaces for Christmas and none of them were made of your teeth. For which I am glad. How are you, Vila? How was your festival of light?

I was asked "what on earth would you do with a necklace of Vila's teeth?" and this is what I said: 1) I would give them back to Vila, of course, or 2) put them in the most complicated safe I could find, which come to think of it is almost the same as 1)...

[HUGGLES] I don't think you can put them back, but luckily they've never left home. Well, except for the little ones when I was a nipper which Mum said the fairies took from under my pillow for a penny each. I used to wonder what they did with them, and imagined they built little pearly tooth-brick houses.

Hah. True. I don't suppose you've read the book The Hogfather?

I have! But a festival based on pork and pork products? Just.... no.

Reminded me of the tooth fairy's castle in Hogfather.

Oh, right! But I thought of it long before I read that. :-)

I remember when I was about 8 or 10 or something like that, I convinced a little girl that fairies were real and one lived in my mum's messages book, which was a little data pad inside a little house on the kitchen wall. I said we couldn't see her but if we asked nicely, she might do some magic. The little girl, Gini her name was, wanted to be invisible, so I spent an afternoon pretending I couldn't see her and letting her sneak up on me. It must have really been magic for her, thinking she really was. I wish someone had done something like that for me when I was little. :-)

AWWWWWWW! That's so cute. I wish someone had done that for me too. I suppose it's too late now. Oh well :-)
