A nice little story about my son as told by my wife earlier today.

Posted by bc/nc (aka HDNAGNDA) Oct 28 '11, 08:49

So I forgot about being the tooth fairy last night. Tyler wakes up and comes to the bathroom. Asks me to turn off the hairdryer so it won�t bother him. Says while pouting, �And the tooth fairy didn�t even come last night. My tooth is still there.�

I felt terrible.

While he�s in the bathroom, I go downstairs and get $2 out of my wallet. He�s still in the bathroom and Samantha is still in her room. I go into his room, put in the $2 and take out the tooth. I say, �Tyler, are you sure that your tooth is still there?� He comes back to check. He says, �Huh? I know my tooth was there when I woke up?� I say, �The tooth fairy must have just come. Did you see her? Samantha, did you see her? Wow, she�s fast!�

He didn�t question a thing. Childhood innocence lives on to see another day.

As a side note, Samantha was upset, saying that she�ll never get a visit from the tooth fairy. Tyler says, �Samantha, you can have one of my dollars.�

****
He loves his little sister. They are such a good team. Way beyond anything I expected.

my gf forgot last week too. Her sons have little clothe pouches that they put their teeth in. I distracted him and she slid the pouch under his bed - decline Oct 28, 09:16

I love that when my brother's boys were quizzing him about the tooth fairy and asked him what her name is, the first answer that came to his mind was - kare Oct 28, 09:05 1

I had that happen once also. Worked it out the same way you did... - Jim Oct 28, 08:56 11
- I am so glad he wasn't skeptical and took my wife at her word. As she said, the childlike wonder is still there. -- nm - bc/nc Oct 28, 08:58 10
  - That makes me happy. Everyday I worry about Bub losing some. - Spawn Oct 28, 09:00 9
    - Well, it'll happen eventually. But right around the corner from that is the wonder that is "girls." -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 09:09
    - why worry about the inevitable? -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 09:08 7
      - it's not so inevitable. have you *met* me? -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 09:24 1
        
        no, I haven't, officially. -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 09:27
      - By worrying I am vigilant to do what I can to help it stay intact. Inside, an example (more of innocence than wonder, but they all tie together). - Spawn Oct 28, 09:18 2
        
        :) As we get near the holidays I am also making sure that they have the Toys R Us big book (correct title?) to look at . I had the Sears Wish Book, so - bc/nc Oct 28, 09:21 1
