I've done that one already. It absolutely mortified me. There is that unavoidable time of vulnerability while the post is public, not yet edited into being innocuous, and SI is soooo slow. That'll happen to me one day and SI will crash and I'll lose my edit window. Pooo.

DId you ever find LLR's message?
It took me some time to realize that the public messages are separated from and underneath the private ones so I missed some too.

Your dream was very weird. Could the child represent you? Is some part of you being murdered? Some innocence? Your childhood?

Do you ever dream your teeth fall out? I do that about once a year, and it's usually painless; they just fall out in little tiny pieces-- sort of crumble in my mouth and I spit them out. LAst night, they came out like a seven year old's-- first they got all wobbly and then they bled, and finally they hung by a little string and I wiggled them around until they came out. BUt they kept bleeding and bleeding- and my mouth filled up with blood and I didn't know what to do. A mother came over with a bowl and said use this. ANd I put it under my mouth and started spitting into it, but the stupid woman had given me a sieve, so I was bleeding on her floor.
I did not look cute without front teeth like seven year olds do.

That was the worst stage- when the boys had these little things dangling from their mouths that they wouldn't let anyone touch. Not that I would have pulled them. No way. I used to send them to school and hope their teachers, who dealt with this all the time, would just casually and authoritatively reach in and yank. They aren't supposed to do this, but they do becuase all those seven year olds with their teeth wobbling are very distracting.
Dan found a tooth while he was cleaning the garage the other day. It was in a nail jar. We don't know why. We oohed and ahhed over it, this perfect teeny tooth and then I said throw it away.
I'm amazed that mothers keep all these teeth and make necklaces out of them or something.
AMmo wanted to know if it was too late to put it under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy.
I said I was sorry but the Tooth Fairy had gone into bankruptcy after paying the orthodontist 10000 dollars.
