Things we do for Love
Tonight my 6.5 year old daughter lost her 5th tooth. Actually Paul pulled it out for her because it was hanging by a thread and bleeding. He left it in a napkin on the table and went to help her rinse out her mouth. I dutifully finished clearing the dinner table and took the kitchen trash bag out to the garbage and the garbage to the curb for pickup tomorrow. At bed time I was asked for the tooth so it could be stowed away for the tooth fairy. So flashlight in hand it was off to the curb in the shivery cold to dig the napkins from the trash. Fortunately I found it in the top layer.
It reminds me of the time I was helping my pastors wife clean their apartment after moving into their home. She had lost a ruby stud earring that had special sentimental value during the move. I dug through the vacuum cleaner bag and found it.
Those Archaeology skill sure do come in handy.
