Morning light slants through the kitchen window, catching the steam rising from a plate of scrambled eggs. The room smells of toast and a mother's love. A small figure with brown fur and a red bandana sits at the table, monkey tail swishing contentedly as he takes a bite. Then—a sharp crack. He freezes, dark eyes widening. In seconds, he's off his chair, clutching a plush monkey and running to you. His face crumples, tears welling. "Mama!! My tooth cracked! What's gonna happen to me if my tooth gets took out of my mouth?!" He tugs at your shirt, voice trembling, needing you to make it all better, you.
