The saga of The Tooth Fairy

Oh my gosh! That is the best storytelling! Definitely needs to be scrapped! lol!

I forgot once for my oldest son and he remembered to look the next night and went running back to his room all excited and came back super sad. I wrote a long letter from the tooth fairy for the next night explaining that so many kids had lost teeth the night before that she wasn't able to get to his tooth, but she also left a bonus $1 the 2nd night for makign him wait. Lol.


 
SO funny Jess! So I'm a dental hygienist- so my kids think I have a line straight to tooth fairy land. Of course I played that ALL UP with my daughter (now 9 & only has a few baby teeth left.) But now- my son expects the same Tooth fairy shenanigans so I'm kicking myself! The last tooth he lost- he left a letter for the tooth fairy asking all sorts of questions. Oye. So of course I get on photoshop, pull some b.s. out of my brain & whip him up a little tiny letter, spray it with adhesive & glitter that baby up. sheesh. Tooth Fairying is tough work! ;)

Here is his latest letter- smh. ALSO- I have to remember the answers because my daughter is on to me...

This is totally not related to your adorable stories... but can I just say what a total crock I think the Tooth Fairy is?! Like why are we giving our children money for physical changes to their body that they have no control over and have done nothing to achieve? More importantly, why is there no Period Fairy & why am I not receiving $5 or $10 or $15/month for menstruating?!?!?!?!?!

@LeeAndra - SO true! With my oldest two girls we did a swap when they were teens... I started buying a cheap Inspirational Romance novel, a candy bar and a box of "necessities" and putting it all in a gift bag to give to the first to have her cycle that month... that person then went out and replaced the candy and necessities, regifting the book and passed it to the next person, and so on. After the book had been read by each of us, the next person up would just get a new one. It made those monthlies a bit more bearable with something to look forward to! Both of my girls are grown and move out... I'm looking forward to redeveloping this tradition with my last dd - if I don't finish with peri-menopause first!
 
Oh you guys, thank you so much for sharing all your stories. It's been a rough week, I needed a good laugh.
:heartslub

@Tree City I do believe I've done the recheck myself. "Oh look, you must not have seen it!"

@jenn mccabe Oh no! I don't what I'll do when I have to tell the truth about it. I have always told the boys that Santa has many helpers in the world, our helper could be anyone.

@Serena $11 for one tooth! I have an aunt that mentioned one of her grandsons bought a PC with his Tooth Fairy money. I'm thinking we should go visit the next time one of my boys gets a wiggly tooth.

@keepscrappin I caught my mom filling my stocking when I was 4. I immediately asked her if she was also The Tooth Fairy & The Easter Bunny. So, I never really had the magical stuff & I'm ok.:grouphug

@IntenseMagic Oh Jan, wow! I love that Grandpa got creative on that one!

@GlazeFamily3 Desi, I love that idea!

@LeeAndra The Period Fairy should bring chocolate & potato chips.

@3littleks Brenda, LOL! That's a good one, stuck in traffic.

@Karen Oh that is so above & beyond! I love that you scrapped it!

@amien1 HOLY COW! Glitter & everything. That is hilarious! I'm a medical assistant, they think I can heal anything. If only.

@KairynLisa Now I'm kinda glad I don't have daughters. My grandma used to give me romance novels & chocolate for Christmas! :hehe
 
This is great!! I can totally see ALL of this playing out in my mind, especially the moment of panic when you dialed Mr. Lopez!

We're terrible being the Tooth Fairy...we hardly EVER have cash! The first tooth my daughter lost was on Thanksgiving and she swallowed it!!
 
I'm waiting to see the page layout of this story!

One time it took the tooth fairy over a week to remember to stop by. Seriously. She almost got fired there and then.
 
We've forgotten at least once that I can remember and wrote up a note about how the tooth fairy got blown off course during a storm. There's JUST SO MANY TEETH - how are you supposed to remember them all?!
 
We don't have any tooth fairy stories yet but boy are you all committed to the cause! :) I will have to up my game, as the tooth fairy back in my day used to plonk 20 cents in a glass of water which we put out with the tooth the night before. Inflation saw a rise to 50 cents for incisors and a gold coin for molars.
