Our Tooth Fairy Sucks. And Yours?

Oops. The tooth fairy read my blog yesterday and suddenly realized that tooth lost on Halloween?

Yep, she had forgotten.

That tooth fairy felt very guilty and grabbed the only $10 out of her wallet and wrote this posthaste:

Dear Li’l Man*,

I know you had lost a tooth, but I couldn’t find it. You mom told me though so, so sorry this is sooo late.

So many kids had their teeth rotted out by Halloween candy that I have been way too busy for words. You guys need to stop eating candy!!!

So here, accept this tooth fairy treasure. Enjoy!

Love,

The Tooth Fairy

*Not his real name, but we do call him that.

Can we say guilty much? Can I screw up any more this year??

Yep, it's been one helluva pinup mommy of the year award year, eh:

Oh, my! It looks like you've lost some teeth, big boy.

6 Witty Comments For Me:

Michelle said...: Our tooth fairy forgets all the time! She totally sucks, but also makes up for it with extra money. She forgot with my second, and the first said,"Don't worry about it Joey, she;;l come sometime." I don't every remember the tooth fairy forgetting when I was a kid.

Shana said...: hehehe. Our tooth fairy has forgotten too. But for her, she usually remembers at 4 am and desperately tries to sneak the dollar under the pillow without waking the kid. One time, she cut it very close...; November 17, 2008 8:27:00 AM PST

Nanny Goats In Panties said...: HA HA!!!

You seem to have a passive-aggressive tooth fairy there. Sorry I forgot your money, but you shouldn't be eating candy? Methinks the fairy has an agenda.

Not a Granny said...: The tooth fairy at our house forgot a lot also. We always blamed it on the weather...either too hot, or too cold. Too rainy..too snowy...LOL; November 18, 2008 6:41:00 AM PST
