The Feather Fairy

Apple Pie (4 years old): (greatly upset)

Mom! The Feather Fairy didn’t come, and I put my feather under my pillow!

Me: (silent for a moment, considering possible responses…)

That’s because there isn’t a Feather Fairy.

Apple Pie: (matter-of-factly) Oh, there’s just a Tooth Fairy?

Me: Yup.

Apple Pie: (leaves room…voice comes drifting back) Banana Cream Pie, there’s not a Feather Fairy.
