Pest Control by Augusten Burroughs

This story was quite cute.  It was all about Mr. Burroughs losing his first tooth and how he was afraid of the tooth fairy.  I found this quite odd as most children, including myself at one time, adore the tooth fairy.  They wiggle teeth day in and day out so that they may be paid a visit and receive some money.  But not Mr. Burroughs, he tells how he barricaded himself in his room and locked the windows in an attempt to keep the fairy away.  I think this story just goes to show how some children have a skew way of thinking--perhaps getting the wrong idea on things in situations that were deigned by adults to make them happy.
