The Tooth Fairy is Easily Confused

You probably did not know this, but the tooth fairy is easily confused. Ethan lost his tooth several days ago, and we were wondering why that tooth fairy hadn't picked up his tooth yet. We were wondering: Had the tooth fairy had an accident? Maybe the tooth fairy was in the hospital. We were a little concerned. Luckily, my husband emailed the tooth fairy today. (Thank goodness the tooth fairy believes in technology!) The tooth fairy emailed him back and let him know she has come several times, but since Ethan has so many pillows on his bed (necessary for all the pillow fights he and Benjamin engage in every night), she has gotten confused as to where the tooth is.

Luckily, when Ethan returned with me from basketball today, my husband was able to relay the message from the tooth fairy, and let Ethan know he needed to get rid of some of those pillows. Ethan ran upstairs right away to rectify the situation.

The tooth fairy said she could come back today. While we were out today she must've come. Thank goodness Ethan got rid of the extra pillows.

As you can see, our Christmas tree is still up (picture below). So are all our Christmas decorations. If I asked REALLY nicely, do you think the tooth fairy could come and take them all down for me?

Moral of the story:

-Don't keep too many pillows on your bed.

-Keep up your email account; you never know when Santa, the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy might need to contact you.

-Don't be scared to contact the Tooth Fairy if she doesn't arrive, there is probably a good reason (which is usually the child's fault:)

-I think we need a Christmas decorations fairy that will put away all the Christmas stuff for us. Perhaps a seasonal fairy who will decorate and put away decorations for all the holidays. Yeah. That's what I need. I think they call them personal assistants. Not free. Crap.



If you lose your tooth at school, the school gives you this "tooth" necklace to hold your tooth until you get home. Back in the day, I probably would've done anything to get one of these. I probably would've pulled out some of my teeth to get one. Even at 36, there is a little part of me that secretly wants a "tooth" necklace. Oh, that child within.
