Entry FeedYesterday, Son One lost a tooth at school. Actually, it was knocked out when he was punched in the mouth during a recess soccer game.
This is my son who didn't eat for 4 days once with a loose tooth. I really don't understand how the male brain works. He was thrilled. He came home and told husband what happened, who said, "Cool!"
Son One put the tooth into a sandwich bag, and slipped it under his pillow.
I was out with the girls. I tried these two interesting martinis. One friend told a story about the ToothFairy. Two parents were discussing how their neighbour slipped into their child's room to leave money for a tooth. Their son had been listening, and in perfect 6 year-old logic said, "Jason's mom is the ToothFairy!" Yes, they quickly replied, but keep it to yourself.
After being dropped off by my designated driver, I fumbled in my pocket for my keys. As I approached the door I realized there had been no need - though husband had locked the door, for safety, he had been thoughtful enough to leave his keys in the lock for me.
Inside, upstairs, into my wonderful pajamas, and to bed. I swear - two martinis and the bed felt like a teeter-totter.
This morning Son One came running into my room. "The ToothFairy did something to my tooth but she didn't leave me any money!" upon closer inspection, the tooth was actually broken in half (hmmm... maybe this kid hit him harder than he thought.)
Damn ToothFairy! It is actually not one of my jobs.
"You know, Honey, maybe we all just went to bed too late last night for her to come. Let's make sure to be in bed nice and early tonight, OK?"
Love it!
I'm sure you've heard my stories...I tend to repeat myself a lot these days!
1) I was busted by daughter trying to be the tooth fairy and instead told her I wasn't the tooth fairy, I was the laundry fairy just putting away the laundry again....I've only just recently retired as the laundry fairy...phew!
2) Son, at some point, decided he'd like to keep his teeth and didn't want the tooth fairy to come...of course he never mentioned this to anyone...the tooth fairy came and left her usual amount and took the tooth...the next night there was a note on his bed telling the tooth fairy that she had broken a little kids heart by taking away his tooth the previous night and how could she do that to a little kid....Ugh...Who taught him to write!
3) I had a similar experience being out one night on a very busy weekend, hockey, bowling, visiting, you name it...all of a sudden I wake up at 3am realizing the next day was Easter morning! Easter Bunny where are you! Please come visit us soon.
