the tooth fairy fuggs it up... AGAIN?!
yeah. can you even believe it's possible?
well it IS, i assure you.
so...rewind to this morning. well... let's go all the way back to last night for full effect. the kids go to bed. we carefully tuck the tooth under my daughter's pillow.i nicely remind them to fall asleep soon...it's getting late, etc. blah blah blah - several times. finally i resort to yelling and death threats. kidding!!
this is the second tooth she has lost and this is definitely a big deal for her. so, i think to myself, "jess...do NOT forget about the tooth fairy."
so i am talking to al (who i should add i totally blame for this) and kinda watching lost at the same time. somewhere here i popped a tylenol pm (thanks bridge for getting me addicted to nighttime sleep aids). so...then criminal minds comes on...and i wrap up my conversation with al and sack out for the night.
fast forward about 8 hours. i am in the bathroom brushing my teeth and my baby comes in. holding her tooth.
"mommy? the tooth fairy forgot to come!!!"
yeah. i suck ten miles of @$$.
in my defense i think i had a rather good comeback. i told her she had stayed up too late and the toothfairy had stopped by when she was awake and didn't have time to get back around to her before the sun came up.
in retrospect... i have probably ruined my child by lying to her.
needless to say, the tooth fairy visited tonight. and she paid interest for her late payment.

If that is fugging her up - wow. We're all in a lot of trouble. But I love that you got busted on that!! Good comeback though!! I think maybe the toothfairy could make a return visit if she goes to bed early - maybe leave her a note about the importance of going to bed early. On that NOTE, can the toothfairy send one to Faith on that topic? I'll read it to her.
You know, the tooth fairy has a lot on her plate and cannot be expected to remember everything!
Ha ha, Jess... It doesn't do ANYONE a bit of good to beat yourself up for what many a parent has done....Plus, she made out fat....relax...!!!
/gulp
boy do i feel guilty. not to mention that we weren't talking about anything remotely important.
oh, well. she'll get over it AND you'll have PLENTY more chances to mess her up (just by sending her to Bridge's!)
I agree... sending her over to my house can mess anyone up.
That is so funny...the Toothfairy messed up twice in one month here....it all worked out in the end...
