The Tooth Fairy Redeemed Herself....

I almost forgot to tell you that the tooth fairy redeemed herself! You might remember last August when the tooth fairy was BAD...and she forgot about a most important little tooth...well, this time that girl was on.the.ball!! When we picked the boys up on their last snow day, Lucas casually mentioned that he had just lost a tooth and it was in his pocket....that was the only mention...now fast forward ten hours and when every one is in bed...and the tooth fairy panics...realizes that it is late and she foggily remembers someone mentioning a lost tooth...she rummages thru the laundry basket, all the pockets in the jeans...and coat...and then moves her way to the bed...stepping on toys and tripping on shoes as she makes her way...I ONLY know this because she told me before she sprinkled her fairy(?) dust and flew away...as she reached the tiny bed...she slipped her hand under the pillow...and didn't feel anything....so she tried again...afraid to wake the sleeping cutie....but waaaaaay back under the pillow was a little baggie....with the precious loot....and she quietly pulled it out and fluttered away....she was ECSTATIC! She was thinking that a little 7 yr old boy was testing her again...and this time he was sneaky...and didn't mention that he would be testing her....and boy was he going to be surprised in the morning!!!...especially when he awoke to a lumpy pillow...and a bag full of pennies and dimes....because you know, the economy and all...that poor tooth fairy had to scrape the bottom of her fairy bag...and wouldn't you know...early the next morning that little 7 yr. old went running into my bedroom yelling, MOMMY! MOMMY! The TOOTH FAIRY CAME!!!......and mommy smiled...knowing that the tooth fairy had redeemed herself! Whew!
