11/12/13 -- I've been played
So...I think I've been played. By Bess. She lost a tooth on Sunday night...asked me where to put it and I told her on the counter in my bathroom. She came back to tell me she found her "tooth" case that comes from school when the kids lose teeth during the day. She told me 4 teeth were already in it....okay so this one must have come from the dentist office....and she was going to add the 5th tooth and put it under her pillow. Now...honestly....I've been a terrible tooth fairy. Abysmal. But mostly I've gotten away with it because my girls would forget about their lost teeth come bedtime....but not this time. But hey...she's 11 and in 6th grade. But Monday morning, I got the sad little girl routine. Broke this momma's heart. I told her --- you know it was really windy last night. Maybe the tooth fairy got blown off course. So last night...she placed the teeth under her pillow again....and then when she couldn't sleep and Bill let her come downstairs -- she came tooth holder in hand -- and under the pillow it went...and after she was asleep....the exchange was made. So this morning, she woke to $5 under the pillow. And now I'm getting the feeling I was played.
