The 32 Teeth of Francisco McHuffy

Story Idea:  Francisco McHuffy loses his teeth. 

Sometimes he loses them normally. Sometimes he loses them under very bizarre circumstances. 

What he never loses is his persistence in finding them so he can cash them in with the Tooth Fairy. 

How else is he going to buy his mother a very special gift?


Draft:

Francisco McHuffy's first tooth fell out at home.

His mother wanted him to put it under his pillow so the tooth fairy would come. But Francisco just put it in a jar and said...

"Wait."

Francisco McHuffy's second tooth fell out at school.

His teacher wanted him to put it in an envelope so he could take it home but Francisco pulled out his jar and put his second tooth next to the other.

Francisco McHuffy's third tooth fell out while he was brushing his teeth.

It clattered around the sink for a moment, swirling in the water before going down the drain. He had climb under the sink with a bucket and wrench to find it. 

Francisco McHuffy's fourth tooth fell out at the beach. He had to borrow a metal detector and change the setting to "Teeth" to find it. Into the jar his tooth went next to the others.

Francisco McHuffy's fifth tooth fell out when he was eating carrots in the school cafeteria during lunch.

His tooth skittered across the floor so he had to crawl underneath all of the tables and through all of the feet and food bits to find it.

On and on this went for Francisco, over weeks and weeks...

Each time he would lose a tooth he would find it and place it in his jar, while his mother kept asking him to leave each tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy to find.

But each time Francisco would simply place the tooth in his jar and say...

"Wait."

He lost another tooth while skateboarding, watching as it flew through the air before landing in a storm drain. 

He lost another tooth while playing in the outfield during a baseball game. The umpire called a time out so everyone could help look for it.

He lost another tooth during his music lesson, where it shot out of his trombone before sticking in the ugly wallpaper. 

He lost another tooth at the zoo. The zookeeper had to dive into the shark tank to retrieve it.

One tooth fell out on the ground when a bird grabbed it before flying away. Francisco had to look in ten different bird's nests before he found the right one.
