Me: J, why don't you and your brother like the tooth fairy?
J: Because if we put our tooths under the pillow, you just throw them away in the garbage.
Me: But you get money for your teeth ...
J: Yeah, and then you throw them away! And after all this work we put into them. We clean them, and brush them, and make them nice and shiny, and then you just throw them away! If you bought them and then took care of them, that would be different.
Me: Okay, it's not really a purchase.
J: You want the tooths, I'll sell them to you if you promise not to throw them out.
Me: Yeah ... you can keep them.
