Never trust an uncaffeinated mom with enviable frontal-fro
We’re sitting at the kitchen table. The kids are eating cereal and I’m sipping coffee. My littlest daughter is sticking her tongue into the gap where her two front teeth used to be. She went from sporting a double Nanny Mc Fee to a toothless wonder in a matter of hours, and was so excited to wake up to two dollars and a tiny, little note from the fairy.
Keep smiling. Xoxo, said the note.
Nailed that one, I think (giving myself a mental pat on the back). Simple yet effective tooth-fairying. BAM! That’s how it’s done. I think it’s safe to assume I’ve redeemed myself the fairy since the almost-fairy-casualty, a few months ago.
“Remember when you squashed the tooth fairy?” my little one asks her older sister. (Ok, so I assumed too quickly.)

Did you know that Shannon Day and 36 other fab writers have created a book? Well, it’s actually a martini guide too.

Glitter guts! LOL We have a couple of things we do when the tooth fairy fails in her duties: We check to see if kid’s room is clean. We found out that the tooth fairy visits the rooms that are super clean first so she can get in and out quickly – on a busy night she just doesn’t have time to make her way through messes. So it’s a quick tip to clean your room so you get a visit!
Also, sometimes when it rains or snows – maybe not even where you live! maybe somewhere far, far, FAR away there was precipitation – they need to play it safe so their wings don’t get wet.
You are obviously a true natural when it comes to this stuff! TOP tips. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Tooth fairy guts. I like it, never came up with my kids but if it had I would have had all sorts of fun with it.
Yes, I’m sure you would! 😉
That’s a clever system!
Yes, I obviously needed a system of kind!
Thanks or reading, Alison. 🙂
That is hilarious. No one tells you how useful it is to keep a bottle of glitter glue by the bed…. filing this away for future parenting.
Yes, glitter glue is a must have in everyone’s night stand.Thanks for reading, Aussa!
Ha, love it! That was some quick thinking! However, I think I’m glad I don’t know what glitter glue is. The fact it can be mistaken for Tooth Fairy guts probably sums it up!
If fairies had guts, they would look like glitter glue. And, yes I thought I’d nailed it with my quick thinking but, alas, I was mistaken.
