For me, the most startling aspect of the poem was the juxtaposition of a beautiful description of a child's experience with the tooth fairy mixed with the trauma and pain that same child endured. You would almost think the author combined two different poems into one. How could parents who took the time to provide such a beautfiul memory for their child also be responsible for the hurt and trauma the thrust upon their daughter as well as themselves? While not as startling as the abrupt change in tone from the first stanza, I was surprised how the author managed to effectively combine both aspects of the previous stanzas into the final one.
