Oh?

John asked me, "Where the devil are the fingernail clippers?"  I responded, matter-of-factly, that the girls have been using them lately as stand-ins for teeth under their pillows.  Mimi has been hiding the fingernail clippers under her pillow.  When I asked her why, she told me that she thought the tooth fairy might take them and leave her a dollar.  I tried to explain that the tooth fairy is only interested in teeth, but I don't think we're perfectly clear.  At least, I still can't find the fingernail clippers.
