The tooth fairy is pretty bloody slack at our house. She often either forgets or has prior commitments whenever my kids lose a tooth. Between fairy meetings, fairy play dates and fairy balls, when does she expect to have time to collect the baby teeth of the world? In saying that though, she is pretty understanding at times too.
A couple of times my kids have lost teeth in school accidents and the teeth could not be found. My kids wrote heartfelt notes explaining why there was no tooth under the pillow. It was adorable to watch how concerned they were that they didn’t have a tooth to surrender.
One weekend last year, we went on a family holiday at my GrandMIL’s hut at Cape Upstart which is about 30mins boat ride from the mainland. Miss 6 lost a tooth and again the tooth fairy was pretty slack . Who knew she wasn’t keen on flying over water? She was pretty clever though not to mention game, getting a helicopter to fly her over and while we all ran outside to see the helicopter, the tooth fairy snuck down (in broad day light), took the tooth and left money in the windowsill.
Miss 6 was so impressed by the tooth fairy’s effort, she still tells people about this story J
I remember a few months ago i had no cash handy. I was fretting thinking nooo my now gummy child wont have any dollars from the tooth fairy. I found a $1 coin in a pair of shorts and was so happy yip!! I left him a little note and hoped for the best.
