Missing Tooth and Electric Blanket Joys

A wail was heard from my son last night, originating from the bathroom, "I lost my tooth but I don't know where it is!".
Dan and I couldn't figure out how Jonathan could lose a tooth immediately after it came out. Our son stood looking at the floor of the bathroom in grief, "Where is it?"
Guess what? Down the heating vent the tooth had fallen and my husband went in hot pursuit after it! Great guy that one.
Very hard to keep a straight face while comforting a 7 year old who has lost a tooth down a heating vent let me tell you!
The tooth was found and Jonathan happily went to bed with it under his pillow. I went to set up a new electric blanket on our bed just purchased that evening. A little trickier than I had thought, Auto On or Off? With dual controls the chances are 50% of having your control on the right side, you guessed it, it was the wrong side.
By the time I had wired our bed up for the winter Dan had dug us out of the snow fall that had hit our town that afternoon and we crawled into a warm, OK my side was hot, bed for the night.
Lights out warm under our blanket I was drifting off to sleep when I heard my husband mumble sleepy
 "Tooth Fairy?"

Who thought up that winged creature anyway?
Ah well, I knew I had a warm bed to come back to.........
