The Tooth fairy Saga. Sienna lost her 3rd tooth in the last 2 weeks.
Tooth #1, Forgot to put $$ under pillow the first night, Sad girl the next morning. Barely remembered the 2nd night. -partial FAIL.
Tooth #2. Put tooth on counter above the sink for safe keeping. Left tooth on the counter, forgot to put under pillow. Again, sad morning. Next night, forgot again. 10 pm, I remember, grab the tooth (and $$) and Violently try to wake up Sienna, (ya right) and SHOW her I am placing the tooth under her pillow. (placed the $$ instead) and waited for morning. Sienna went to school, nobody remembered to check for tooth $$ till after school - FAIL
Tooth #3. Sienna placed tooth under pillow almost immediately but as bedtime came, Andy and I forgot...again. 5:30 am, I get woken to an extremely loud whisper of "TOOOOOOTH FAIRY" I jump up, (And this is where I went wrong, we both know Andy is the more graceful one) grab a few quarters and sleepy stumble....quietly?...downstairs in my giant white robe. I bet I looked like a ghost. I check under her pillow, nothing. I check under her bed....nothing. I do another, larger check under pillow.....sleep sounds cease. I drop to the floor and listen to Sienna smack lips and roll over. No sleeps sounds resume.....still none. While hiding on the floor, I see a glitter of plastic from the sandwich bag containing, the tooth. I slowly reach under the bed and carefully grab it. Have you EVER realized how loud a small plastic bag is!!! I slowly pull it towards me, Sienna rolls over......."Mom....Why are you here?" I quickly stand up, "Oh, I just came down hereto check on you, to see if you peed the bed." She replies, "Yep. I did. But why were you down there?" "Just checking for Tweakers (our cat)." Then I act shocked and exclaim "Oh, there she is, she's on your bed! I knew I heard her." We fixed the bed, changed clothes and went back to sleep. I try to pretend it's still the middle of the night by saying, "sleep good, you need your sleep, see you in the morning."
6:30 am..Mom, You put the $$ under my pillow when you came down there. FAIL
Oh bother! That girl is too smart for your own good!!
ReplyDeletei think those are all successes, because you tried. tooth fairying is totally overrated. i mean, who invented her? does she really have it any better together than we do? there are like a billion kids for her to keep up with. i am sure she has her lapses! ;)
ReplyDeleteI guess the title should be Toothfairy Reality!
