The Tooth Fairy: A Few Concerns

Recently I was talking to Hannah about the fact that she will soon start losing some of her baby teeth. Naturally, this led to a discussion about the tooth fairy, and Hannah raised some fairly legitimate concerns.

1. If I put my teeth in the pretty box I decorated for them, the tooth fairy might take the box. 
2. If I put the teeth I want to keep in the pretty box, and the ones she's allowed to take under my pillow, she might still find the box with the other teeth and take it. Then she would have the teeth I wanted to keep.
3. What if, when the tooth fairy comes in, I am sleeping with my mouth open? Then, she might take the teeth out my mouth!
4. What if I wake up when she's in my room? Then I would be really scared and scream. And that might scare her too.

These concerns create a real dilemma for Hannah. In the end, she might just leave her teeth in the bathroom to avoid any confusion.
