Tooth Fairy Fail

The last time Doodle lost a tooth, the Tooth Fairy left quite a bit of loot, but forgot the tooth! See the Tooth Fairy only had a $20, a $5, and some odd change and was very sleep deprived. So Doodle got the $5 and change but she was hysterical and upset that the Tooth Fairy didn't want her tooth. We told her the tooth bag of the Tooth Fairy was full and that she'd likely swing by another night to pick up the tooth. Doodle left the Tooth Fairy a helpful note:


Translated, the note reads,"Dear Tooth Fairy, You forgot my tooth. Tooth is inside stuffed toy." The Tooth Fairy did remember to pick up the tooth and left a necklace and some change. You would think that the Tooth Fairy would get smart and keep some singles around, but frankly, we are not that swift. Or prepared.

It's not just the Tooth Fairy who's making this difficult. Remember when Doodle's tooth went down the sink? This time, she lost the tooth in the pool--the large public pool. Thanks to Hoosier Girl, who ran an efficient search and rescue mission for the tooth with some borrowed goggles, the Tooth Fairy came last night. Here's a picture of my big girl:


The Tooth Fairy should have been a big spender for this tooth, it was the giant front tooth. However, since the Tooth Fairy invested lots of money in the tooth for the first two times it was fractured, culminating with a crown the second time, she was not happy to be paying the third time around. In fact, the Tooth Fairy was a bit bitter to be holding several hundred dollars (with insurance, no less!) of a tooth in her hands. She did get past it enough to leave a couple of bucks, though and the Doodle was happy. Let's hope the Tooth Fairy can stay on her game.

A couple of bucks????

I hope the girls do not share Tooth Fairy Loot tales when they see each other or I am going to have one pissed off kid.
