Visions of Tooth Fairy

Gwen: I saw, I saw the Tooth Fairy!
Me: What did she look like?
Gwen: She was all white, just like the teeth with a white bag. The bag was split in two sections -- one for teeth and another for money. She also had a beautiful white wand. She flew into the house and checked to see if I was sleeping... but I was pretending and she didn't understand that I was pretending and peeking, because she didn't have the special magic like Santa to see if I was asleep.

Tooth Fairy inflation adjustment

During our long drive to Toronto Gwenchik lost yet another tooth and was a bit concerned if the Tooth Fairy goes this far north.
Gwen: Will she know that I am in Canada, just like Santa? What kind of money will she give me? Does Canadian Tooth Fairy actually give dollars or maybe dolls?
.....
In the morning Gwenchik got 3 Canadian dollars (a loony and a toony)
Gwen: Mom, the Tooth Fairy gave me 3 dollars!!! Not one!!

My own, personal Daddy

We have been on vacation in Toronto, and George took Gwenchik to a few museums and then almost daily swimming in the pool. So at some point in the day, I wanted to hug them both, and Gwen objected.
Gwen: I have MY own, personal Daddy that I do not want to share!

Uncle enticement

Gwen's uncle is leaving for Russia, so she is really upset and really doesn't want him to go.
Gwen: I made this snowman from popcorn and jelly beans in my cooking class today. I will give it to my uncle Roddy!
Me: Great, I am sure he would like that.
Gwen: I know, and then I can make another one, and another one ... and he will like all of them and will have to stay to eat them all! And I will make one a week -- he'll stay for the entire year.
