Friday Confession #8: I Secretly Hate The Tooth Fairy

This Friday confession is…I secretly hate the tooth fairy.

I can’t think of a time when I did the tooth fairy thing correct. I wrote a blog post about tooth fairy f*ck-ups because I just have such resentment against this particular mythical creature.

Santa – I got it. Easter, no problem. But the tooth fairy is just so forgettable and filled with potential errors.

Another Tooth Fairy F-Up

I just got back from a work trip and my husband said; ‘our daughter pulled out her tooth last night.” Well the following day or maybe it was two days after – I don’t know it’s all a blur – I was making our bed and I see this little speck of white with a bit of red on it. I pick it up and I realize it’s her tooth. So I’m thinking crap I was gone on a work trip last week so maybe the tooth fairy didn’t come while I was gone. So I said to my daughter, “guess what I found in my bed?” I said “your tooth.”

Should we put it under your pillow so the tooth fairy can come? And she said (in that exasperated voice) “she already came mom.”

I guess that’s what can happen when you have an excellent partner who helps with these sorts of things (and a little lack of communication to go with it).
