Tooth Fairy Scam

Tessa lost her first tooth a couple days ago. She was so excited, she actually pulled it out herself! We got it all ready in an envelope and put it under her pillow, but a few minutes later she came to me and said, "I want to take it to school for show and tell before I give it to the tooth fairy." So I said okay, and told her to go put it in her backpack.

Then last night, she did put it under her pillow. I didn't remember it was there and apparently my husband didn't either, so when she woke up and checked, she was just destroyed. The tooth fairy hadn't come.

So Jay went and got a couple of dollars and went to go help her look for it and see if maybe the Tooth Fairy had just left the tooth, since it was her first tooth and all, she might want to keep it. He reached behind her bed and pulled out the $2 and said, "Oh, here it is!"

Tessa replied, "No, that is just the money I took out of my piggy bank."

So he had to leave her with the $2 and we have to try this ALL OVER AGAIN tonight. (Drat! Why do we never have any cash around here?)

That Tooth Fairy, she is a busy gal! Sometimes it can take a few days before she picks up your tooth!

Little stinker! She is going to get paid twice!
