Miffed at the Tooth Fairy

Brandt lost another tooth a couple days ago & he got pretty excited for the tooth fairy to come. He wrapped his tooth up and put it carefully under his pillow. In the morning, he immediately checked and.... the tooth was still there. Hmmm. He got all concerned that maybe something happened, but we all came up with possible reasons as to why the tooth fairy didn't get the chance to come over.

"Maybe she had too many teeth to collect. - Mom, Maybe she didn't know where to look. - T, Maybe she thought it was T who lost the tooth. - Dad, (& my personal favorite) Maybe she died. - B"

By the end of the conversation & hypotheses, we were all certain that she would come the next night. When I woke B up the next day, he once again, immediately flipped over his pillow to see how much he made on his front tooth.

Nope, that dang tooth was still there! WHAT THE FREAK, FAIRY!?!?! Can't you get it right the second time?? This poor little boy wants his money. He did his part. Is it so hard for you to leave a quarter or something to help the kid out??

.......

Update: B received a $1 bill. (I think that the Tooth Fairy felt a little guilty...)

I've done that many times, does that mean that we are lie to our kids to cover up that we messed up? I've now started to put a reminder on my cell phone so I don't forget. It's crazy!!

Haha, my parents forgot once and I was devastated. They did something that had me believeing in the tooth fairy until high school. It was low and sad. They snuck money under my pillow real fast when I wasn't looking and when the coast was clear and I was still balling, "Maggie, I just saw a really bright light in your room." I check it out and tada, there was my money. Evil parents. So many things I learned in high school were all lies. :'( Haha, I'm sure Brandt will tell this for years to come.

That is great! Poor Brandt! I never got a dollar for a tooth. I think the tooth fairy definitely was on a guilt trip.

The Tooth Fairy did the same thing at our house not long ago! She must need a vacation.
