#2 Of course, since the Chinese government wants her to be sixteen, and the government controls the birth certificates. producing a birth certificate "proving" that she is 16 should be no problem.

#8 Deng Linlin's missing baby tooth under pillow waiting for Tooth Fairy. Anyone who believes this little girl is over twelve still believes that same Tooth Fairy will come and grant her wish to be 16.
