The Eyeball Fairy

I remember in the first grade in Mrs. Perkins’ class my eyeball had been getting looser and looser forever it seemed.   It was time for recess and I opened a door too fast and it knocked my barely hanging-on eyeball out.  Needless to say that night I put my eyeball under my pillow and the next morning there was a $5 bill under my pillow!  My new eyeball grew in, and I spent the $5 playing 20 games of Pac-Man at the pizza place by the church.  But looking back, I don’t know — is there really an Eyeball Fairy, or is it just some trick that parents play on their kids?  I guess I’ll never know.
