In Other News, the Tooth Fairy Takes Apology Notes
Phone call yesterday afternoon:
"Mommy? I think I swallowed my tooth."
"The one you wouldn't let me pull out yesterday because it was merely hanging by a thread?"
"Uh-huh. I went to wiggle it and it was gone. I felt it in my throat."
"Oh. Well, we'll just write the tooth fairy a note tonight, then. She'll probably still give you cash."
"What about my tooth?
"It'll go through your body like food."
"I'll poop out a tooth?"
"Yep."
"So I need to save my poop for the tooth fairy?"
"No, son. We'll write her a note. This sort of thing happens a lot."
"Okay, but you write the note and sign it like with notes to school."
So we wrote a note that said, "Sorry, accidentally swallowed tooth!" and put it under The Boy's pillow. This morning, there was a dollar and a scribbled reply that read, "No problem! T.F."
And there you have it. The Tooth Fairy takes signed excuse notes from moms. No poop-saving necessary, for which I am sure she is thankful.

What a sweet story. This story is not only funny, I found 'glee' in it. I'm so glad T.F. took the time to draft a short response.
"No problem" is HI larious. Our TF has to write flowery notes of praise to each child. Sheesh. A monster seems created.
T.F. rocks. Both my girls' first lost teeth were never found and the Tooth Fairy was cool about leaving money anyway. Me thinks the Tooth Fairy has quite a collection of bloody teeth and is extra special happy not to have to deal with the mess.
The Christmas tooth fairy only leaves money if you've been good.
