Henny Penny stuck this next to my bedroom door after I forgot to call the tooth fairy two nights in a row......and still.......I forgot for two more nights......
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Who ever invented the tooth fairy is an idiot. Yes, you heard me. An idiot! Who in their right mind would think it was so stinking cute to wait until an excited child is asleep (takes HOURS), sneak into their room, dig around for something microscopic under their pillow that inevitably rolls down out from under the pillow and lodges itself under the child without waking the excited child on hyper sensitive "I'm gonna catch the tooth fairy" drive, and put money under the pillow all without getting caught?
An idiot I tell ya! And I'm an even bigger idiot for buying into it and not telling The Native's from the get go that there is no such thing as a tooth fairy!!
In the next life, I'm gonna hunt down the inventor of the tooth fairy and wrap up her/his wings with her/his tights with her/him still in them!
And now Henny Penny is upset because the tooth fairy didn't write her back........well how the heck was I supposed to know that there was not only a tooth to be found but a letter as well? I thought I was doing good finding the blasted tooth!
So, the sign is still pinned next to my bedroom door reminding me to call the tooth fairy AGAIN so she/he can write Henny Penny back........I was supposed to do that last night......but forgot......
I often forget to call the toothfairy. After one such escapade I told the chickadees that the toothfairy sent an email and said that she will no longer go into their room because it is far too messy and she fears she will get hurt trying to get there in the dark. So she now requests that we place the tooth on the table with a cup over the top of it to protect it. .. there were 2 possible out comes with this email.. 1) the girls might clean their room so that the the toothfairy would come in there. and 2) they would go for the table idea and we would all be happier.. Thankfully they went for the table and its been much better for us. :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
PS. I will hold the wings while you start with the tights!!!
Denae, See? I'm just not smart which is why I also called myself an idiot. The cup idea is Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd be smart and have The Native's put their tooth in a plastic ziplock bag under their pillow so it wouldn't 'travel' so much. STUPID! Plastic makes the most horrendous noise when you are trying to be quiet!!!
Wow. You do have a dumb tooth fairy at your house. The tooth fairy at our house expects the tooth to be hanging in a little baggie outside the child door waiting to be picked up. OUR tooth fairy has also let it be known that she is NOT like Santa Clause. She is not able to make it everywhere in one night and sometimes you just have to wait until she is on this continent. Sometimes you have to wait quite a few nights for her to make her rounds. The way I look at it? I'm doing my kids a favor by teaching them that instant gratification isn't all it's hyped up to be. Yeah. That's it.
ReplyDeleteThat dang toothfairy! Who does she think she is? I can't believe she wasn't there the first night. ;P
ReplyDeleteI've heard of kids putting the tooth on their dresser. Our kids put their tooth in an envelope, it makes finding it a little easier.
Sarah--thank you for the information on the tooth fairy. I think we've been doing it wrong at my house. There are times the tooth fairy leaves the money even though the tooth was never picked up. My kids are tried going for the double dose. Hmmmm.... I need to explain it better to them.
ReplyDeleteLevi has the tooth fairy figured out. The tooth fairy eats the tooth and changes it into money. It is like a golden goose. If you do catch that tooth fairy, please trap it good so we can get rich. We just have to keep feeding it teeth.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are used to the tooth fairy being late; but they're also used to getting paid extra for "interest." ;) Sometimes interest is in the form of a small gift, sometimes extra $ - according to the "tooth fairy's" mood. Yes - they are all quite big now... they just skip the pillow thing now and inform me that the tooth fairy needs to make a visit. I don't know how they manage to charm me into continuing... but they do! :D
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your sneaking dilemma!
Oy, I hate forgetting things like that. And it's so easy to do.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't know how you would possibly find the tooth if it wasn't in an envelope or a little box or something--they're so tiny! I saw a cute pillow somewhere that was shaped like a tooth with a little pocket in it. I've been meaning to make one, but I have a feeling it just might not ever happen!
LOL. I feel bad for the tooth fairy. You are so mean to her! Stop that!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, the Tooth Fairy is a "She". It was a "He" a few years ago. But that was until a kid wrestled him to the ground and took away all the change he had.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, back to your post. Maybe, you should write a letter and put it in the mailbox. That should make her happy.
And the next time, I find the "He" tooth fairy, I will yell at him for you!:)
Lovely post. Toodles!
Our tooth fairy had problems, too. So we fired her. And got a new one. He's much better.
ReplyDeleteOK so it is one day later. Did our poor neglected one-and-only girl get the expected reply letter from the tooth fairy? Or did the tooth fairy spend all her time blogging about the tooth fairy? ;0
ReplyDeleteSarah, You'r such a show off. This is MY blog. Go write on your blog about how smart your are. I don't need this kind of crap from you. ;)
ReplyDeleteChastina, Oh I can believe she wasn't there the first night...and the second....I think she's snorted too much fairy dust over the years.
Jody, How about we find an auntie tooth fairy? :D
Lyndee, Don't listen to Sarah. She's just showing off. I've heard tell that even with her brilliance the tooth fairy has been inept in her household too!
Brian, Are you willing to donate your teeth? ;)
Corine, You too huh? Glad to know I'm not the only one that has been duped into this. That's the rub. Henny Penny knows the "secret" behind it all and yet I still go through the stupid charades.... Like I said, I'm even more stupid...
Ginna, I see those all of the time and think they are so cute and like you.....I've not gotten around to getting or making one. I'm sure by the time I have grandkids I'll have it figured out. :)
Misty, It's so hard getting good help around here!! I just keep getting disappointed. Tooth fairy.......fairy godmother........they so do not live up to my expectations.
Mr. S, The letter in the mailbox sounds quite lovely. I'll be sure and tell the "He" tooth fairy as I've just fired the "She" beings as we are still waiting on the letter......
Anaise, Amen and doing the same here!
Brian, No she didn't so for and behalf of our daughter's future I have fired the original tooth fairy and turn it over to the "HE". Good luck! Oh, and when you write the letter..make sure it's all swirly and has glitter on it okay? Thanks bunches love!
We always forgot. Try facing a child the morning after when nobody came. THAT's a real tap dance.
