It says: WORST. PARENT. EVER.

So I was so embroiled in my own self-pity party yesterday evening that I completely forgot that the tooth fairy was supposed to come last night. Ethan lost ANOTHER tooth. It's a wonder the kid has any left at all. Anyhow, the drama was high at our house this morning.

*********

Ethan. (wails) The tooth fairy didn't come!

Me. (thinks big ugly swear words) Oh, no.

Ethan. (Borderline hysterical) And the tooth is gone!

Me. We'll write a letter and explain. It'll be alright. We'll take care of it.

(Hysterics ease and we go downstairs where the boys are eating their Malt-o-Meal (I know, gag. They like it.) And Ethan sees a dollar bill on the kitchen counter. It came out of yesterday's laundry. It is crumpled and mangled beyond belief.)

Ethan. Here it is! I wonder why she left it down here? Why didn't she leave it under my pillow?

Me. (Thinks, 'Cause she found it in the dryer) Um....

Aaron. (Gestures toward the staircase) That is a lot of stairs.

Ethan. (looks at his brother like he's an idiot) She's a FAIRY.

**********************

Anyhow, crisis averted. And he was appeased by the dollar. Quite frankly, I'm shocked that an eight year-old still believes in the things he does.

And EW. Now I have to go find the rogue tooth up there. Oh, my life is SO glamorous.

OH MY GOSH! I have done that before too! EEEP! Luckily we put teeth in glasses of water by the bed and I had completely forgot about it - I was actually up late writing Caliga and not paying attention to my family at the time - and Scott was SO upset. I wasn't as lucky as you having the dollar bill on the counter. AND instead of a Loony ($1 coin) like we normally give him - he got a Toony ($2 coin) because the Tooth Faerie was very very remorseful.

*sighs* Our poor boys. :(

They have to have something to talk about in therapy when they're older, right?

Oh totally. I'm already anticipating them having massive issues with computers... like dreams where it squishes them or something. Gotta have a goal, you know?
