The Tooth Fairy finally came last night. She He left Olivia 3 crisp ones. After 3 no-shows, he/she needed to play make-up.
After the first time the TF didn’t show, I told Olivia it was probably a busy night for the TF… sometimes lots of children lose their teeth on the same day and there is only so much the TF can do. The next day, I gave her one of the possible reasons Blozulfog left in my comments on my original post,
…a whole kindergarten class in West Virginia lost all their teeth in one day eating popcorn balls so the tooth fairy was a bit overwhelmed…
Daddy told her the TF was nervous to come too close until Olivia got her cast on - she (TF) didn’t want to accidentally bump it. That’s a good one Daddy.
So. Olivia finally got her cast yesterday (ooh - purple!), and the TF finally came. But… BUT… she left the tooth on Mommy’s bathroom counter. I guess she didn’t need that tooth to help build “her mythical and ever expanding all-white tooth castle in the sky”. Olivia said, “Hey Mom! Why did the Tooth Fairy leave my tooth here?”
“Because she’s an idiot … I don’t know. She probably just set it down and forgot to pick it back up. I’m sure she’ll come back for it.” Oh the lies!!!!! Surely my heart is turning pitch black for what I am doing to my children. Black, I tell you, black - the color of evil!
Jen at Daily Mish Mash did some research on the matter of this winged creature that is prone to forgetfulness… She not only found the charming piece of information about “the all-white tooth castle”, but so much more… My favorite point she made is #6, and #5 made me throw-up in my mouth a little. What I appreciate the most about Jen’s post is - I am not alone. Misery loves company. If I have to feel guilty, I prefer to be burning my tongue on a hot cup-o-guilt with a friend.
