At my school we are still allowed to dress up for Halloween. Last year, I dressed up as the Tooth Fairy. The children in the classroom next door had a difficult time understanding that the it was just a costume.
A few weeks after Halloween a little girl from the other class came up to me in the hallway - How do you do it?
Teacher - How do I do what?
Little girl - How do you get in everybody's house?
Teacher - Sweetie, what are you talking about?
Little girl - Santa has a sleigh. Do you fly?
Teacher - Oh, you mean, as the Tooth Fairy?
Little girl - I know you're the Tooth Fairy, but how do you get to everybody's house in one night? How do you know who lost their teeth?
Teacher laughes - When you grow up, you might want to be a reporter. (Leaning down to tell the child confindentially). I am not actually the Tooth Fairy. I just wore that costume for Halloween.
A second girl joined the first and they moved a foot away from me as if I could not hear them.
Second little girl - How does she do it?
First little girl - She wouldn't tell me.
