ky lost a tooth on friday night. we were out with all the kids eating pizza when it came out. ky was pretty cool about the whole thing, i think this is about the fifth or sixth tooth she has lost, so she's a little pro.
when we got home that night, we prepared an envelope for the tooth fairy and tucked the little lost tooth inside. ky proudly filed it under her pillow.
the next morning, the envelope was still under her pillow, and there was no cash prize to be found. ky was a bit worried, but i told her that the tooth fairy was probably really busy and would show up the next night.
saturday night we tucked the envelope under her pillow again. sunday morning? same thing. damn tooth fairy was still really "busy". (eff, eff, eff! i am the WORST mom in the world.)
so, last night we gave it one more try. "i'm sure she'll come tonight." i told ky. "she has to be all caught up by now."
this morning? effing envelope was still under her pillow! why? cuz i can't effing remember to play tooth fairy! and i suck!
i sent ky to the bathroom and grabbed a dollar bill. i stuffed it under her pillow in a spot she hadn't looked. i had her come back into the room and pick up her pillow. she grabbed the money but looked less than thrilled.
a few minutes later, as we were putting the dollar bill in her piggy bank, ky looked me in the eye and said, "mom, is that your dollar?" crap. she's smarter than i give her credit for.
and i am a suckingly sucktastic tooth fairy.

Ahhh. Adventures in motherhood. You're a good mommy. I think I only ever got 50 cents from the toothfairy.
I love your kid stories.
fool the kid once, shame on you.
fool the kid three times, shame on them.
thanks for the laugh!
Funny!
Hey, I thought it was a "good save" DDG. I guess you just happen to have a particularly smart kiddo there!
yeah, and this morning she asked me if she could put it under her pillow again for another dollar. sigh.
