One day - I was about four - he was in the backyard teaching me to box. He said, 'Son, I'll do you a big deal. I'll show you how you can pull a dirty trick on the Tooth Fairy...' He then gave me three teeth, which I placed under my pillow. The next day I looked to see if the Tooth Fairy had been. She had: there were TWO £1 notes under my pillow! Like a lottery win twice over.
Uncle Frank was not like my other uncles. He always had a pair of rusty pliers in his inside jacket pocket.

I'm with Pamela. What a great Uncle to have.

Unlike Pamela and Mary, I'm a little disturbed at the thought of where the teeth might have come from. Unless Uncle Frank had a toothless smile. Comments are closed.
