The Tooth Fairy

Teeth are falling out around here like nobodys business! Which means Mommy and Daddy must strap on the ol wings and sprinkle that dust and pay for teeth! Joshua put a tooth under his pillow and went to sleep. So did we. Whoops. Daddy went into his room to put the dollar(thats the going rate I hear)under his pillow in the morning. Joshua rolled over and said,"Hi Dad."
Sarah tucked her tooth in last night and I fell asleep before doing my fairy gig. I went into her room in the wee hours this morning. I fumbled in the dark and woke her up digging for the tooth. I whispered to her,"Hey Sarah, I am trying to be the tooth fairy here so could you please move your head?" She laughed, moved and went back to sleep.
"Fumbling in the dark" pretty much describes my life as a parent.

I love being the 239 lb. tooth fairy. When do I get my wings.
