Myths, Legends & Makebelieve


ok.... so the Tooth Fairy.

*sigh* poor old girl, more overworked than santa clause, has to fly all over the world nightly bringing money to little children who have done nothing more than lose a tooth.

hehe, ok.... so she's kinda cool, HOWEVER I think we ALL know that I am the tooth fairy at our house. Well, let me ask ya.... how do you handle it exactly when the
"tooth fairy" has forgotten to get some change from the 5$ bill in her purse and doesnt have a dollar to give!
Well, the first night no money arrived, the tooth fairy was on the other side of the world helping kids there who must have certainly lost a lot of teeth for her to not be able to gather Abby's little tooth.
It was agreed upon after this sad morning awakening that if the tooth fairy failed to exchange the prized tooth for a dollar THAT night - well, we had better email her then!
(ok, so how exactly does the tooth fairy get email you ask? I have NO idea! last time it was a carefully constructed with a friend being the recipent of said email.)
THAT time the "tooth fairy" simply forgot that there were teeth under the pillow. Because there were 3 under there that time - an email reminder was deemed necessary.

ok, so back to this second night of anticipation on my daughters part and once again no 1's in my wallet on the part of the tooth fairy!!!

What's a tooth fairy to do right? she shows up and there's no money avail?
Well - I did what ANY self respecting tooth fairy aka momma would have done and snitched a dollar from my kid's piggy bank!
Abby was ecstatic this morning to awake and find the money and I was relieved to not have to send another email to the tooth fairy!

Not proud of it mind you. Now not only do I have to get small bills still, but I also have to reimburse the poor kids piggy bank!

Thank GOODNESS she doesn't read this blog!
