Tooth Fairy Trauma

Sometimes the Tooth Fairy is a slacker (at least at our house).

She is also pretty trixy.  Sometimes she "hides" a child's money in his or her room and no one can find it until Mom comes in to help look (imagine you can see my face so you realize I am winking conspiratorially at you right now).  Mom has a knack for finding hidden Tooth Fairy funds for sure (more winking).  It gets pretty crazy.


In case you don't read emergent/phonetic speller this particular note says, "Please come, Tooth Fairy.  I really hope you come.  -Ellie's tooth."  (DO note the appropriate use of the apostrophe in "Ellie's"...that's my girl!!...even if she did accidentally spell her own name wrong)

Thankfully the Tooth Fairy is very responsive to tactics like this one and although she may have missed her one simple job as relates to homeless denticles the first night (maybe the start of a new year is a big time for Tooth Fairies) she did manage to get the job done on night II.  Ellie even got a note of apology from her winged friend along with her cash.  She was pretty pleased.

All's well that ends well.
