Neil Makes Up Another Story

In a recent tweet, author Neil Gaiman delivers a micro-tale. Starting from this tweet:

I don't believe in the Tooth Fairy any more Dad so how about you just give me my money NOW while I throw this tooth in the bin?

That night, the tooth fairy came, with her pliers & the coins she took from off the eyes of the dead, to show Astrid the error of her ways https://t.co/PGRi1ZAcyY

To which, pal John Scalzi responds:

@neilhimself Neil.

Neil, abashed:

@scalzi Sorry John.
