If you can't count on the Tooth Fairy, who can you count on?

Cole lost a tooth a couple of nights ago, and when he went to bed, he made sure to tell me in detail where he left his tooth. The next morning, he greets me with, "Hey Tooth Fairy! You forgot to get my tooth!"

Oops.

And by the way, since when is he past the point of even pretending that he doesn't know it's me?

But I digress...So I replied to Cole, "No, the Tooth Fairy did not forget, she just got tired and went to bed early, but she made sure to ask Mr. Tooth Fairy to do the honors, but he apparently fell asleep on the couch and then forgot."

I got an eye-roll as he walked away.

Then this morning, Cole got up and plopped down on the couch in such a way that it was obvious he was annoyed. I sweetly inquired as to what was up. Because his brothers were in the room, he was thoughtful enough to answer, "The Tooth Fairy forgot again!"

Double oops.

Then Mason, in an effort to cheer Cole up, said, "Don't worry, Cole. One time it took her four days to get my tooth!"

So I've got to ask you, are you guys stuck with an unreliable tooth fairy too, or are we the only ones?

Nope. You're the only ones. I'm calling CPS.

But seriously, Mark & Madison both have an unreliable Tooth Fairy. We must be on the same route. Mark's TF just delivered tonight on a tooth yanked out Sunday night. Once, Madison's TF left her an IOU ... but only because she pulled the dad-gone thing the day after Christmas!!!, and the TF was all gifted-out.

Oh, and they SOOO know that they have to keep up the ruse or lose out altogether. (I think Mark is secretly still confused.)

I got lucky when my tooth fairy kept forgeting (for several nights)and added interest to the original amount to the tune of $20.00 for one tooth. Only happened once though:(
