I Lost the Tooth I Lost
Zane lost tooth #5 last night. He really lost tooth #5. Says he never felt it come out. Said he may have spit it down the drain while he was brushing his teeth. It’s quite possible he swallowed it with dinner.
He was pretty upset that he was not going to have anything to leave for the Flossie, The Tooth Fairy. “How will she know? What do I leave her? Maybe if we left her a cookie.”
“Buddy, I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave the Tooth Fairy a cookie. (Though they were fresh baked chocolate chip and I can’t imagine the tooth fairy not enjoying one–or several.) Why don’t you leave her a note. I’m sure she’ll understand.”
And so he did. And she did. And the balance of the universe was restored.
Minus one lower right incisor.
Bless his heart! I am glad the Tooth Fairy is so understanding!
It’s a slippery slope. Tooth ferries follow strict procedures, and she did not have the authority to make exceptions like that. Next time tell him to fill out form B213-A and the committee will look into the matter.
Just wait until it mysteriously shows up again and he tries to cash in a second time…
My Youngest decided to save up her teeth and see if she could get extra for saving the tooth fairy the extra trips. She made a special paper holder with four pockets in it, too…and people wonder why I’m insane.
Lena–The Tooth Fairy is very understanding!
OM–I had no time fro proper procedure. It was literally bedtime when we realized we were without tooth.
Xbox–He did ask for a pipe wrench earlier. I wonder….
Imp–Some people would look at that as to wonder why your daughter is so insane. I’m just saying.
This is almost as bad as me driving away with Kendall hanging on the outside of the suburban while her brother tried not to notice. Damn. I hate when that happens.
