Tooth Fairy

This story is too cute.  I really wanted to post to FB but who knows if a kid might see it.  lol

Last night (after a night of the 'tooth fairy' forgetting to pay for a tooth--let's be honest the tooth fairy exhaustedly fell asleep on the couch whilst little d was still trying to fall asleep) little m dutifully placed her tooth on her nightstand/chair.  When I went to tuck her in she laughed and said "Mom are you really the one who comes in here at night and takes the tooth and puts money in my room?"  I laughed back and said sarcastically "yea yes that's me alright!"

We had a little laughing back and forth and finally the TRUTH came out.  She seemed fine with it.  Really.  She did.  Aaaaaand then she didn't.  But she did finally overcome her sadness and go to sleep.

At which time I again forgot to get the money.

Fortunately little md woke up hungry at 4am.  And THEN I remembered.  (And perhaps all to gloriously woke up David to find the correct dollar amount in his wallet.)

I also penned a note saying that I was sorry she was sad about the tooth fairy but of ALL the tooth fairies in the whole world this tooth fairy loved her the most!

She loved the note this morning.  It brought smiles not tears.  Then she hit me with this gem:

"All this time I thought I was bringing in money for our family, but it's just our money..."

I told her not to worry.  I don't expect her to bring money in until she's at least eighteen.  lol
