Chalk One Up In the "Bad Mom" Column
Caleb lost a tooth yesterday and the Tooth Fairy didn't show last night.
Oops.
He came into our room this morning, tapped me on the shoulder to wake me up, and said in a little pitiful voice, "My tooth was still under my pillow this morning and there was no money there. The Tooth Fairy didn't come." Yikes.
So now I'm thinking of different excuses for tardiness the T.F. can write in a note to leave under his pillow today...any suggestions would be appreciated. Right now I'm going with either an overabundance of teeth lost in France or elephants losing heavy tusks in Africa. The silver lining is that this gives me an idea for a children's book: "The Tooth Fairy is Late!"
We're going to walk to school this morning. Actually, Caleb will ride his new scooter he got for his b-day, Audrey will ride her bike, and I will push Julie in the stroller. Gotta go change a stinky little girl.

This is too funny! Chris just lost a tooth last weekend and I, too forgot. Thankfully, at 6am when he woke up, I remembered and stashed the money under his pillow while he was downstairs eating breakfast. He was none the wiser! As for an excuse...any combination of "toothy" words could do...cavities, etc. Hope this helps! ~Steph
