The tooth fairy forgot to show up last night ! Ahhhhhhh. M. was very concerned about it this am. But she did rationalize the cold weather probably kept her inside instead of out collecting teeth. Yes, it was down to 41 degrees. Oh, that Mother Nature...she is so wicked. How horrible for M, as we were discussing before she went to bed last night. Questions like where the tooth fairy comes from. Of course, I said, "The window!" Can I tell you it helps spending so many years in the drama dept. and having drama as a minor. I can think fast and improvise at the slightest question I don't want to answer that comes out of my childs' mouth. Like the time when S. was barely 3yrs. old and repeating everything. We heard a man loudly exclaim, in front of Coldstones, where we were enjoying a sweet cream icecream with raspberries and brownies mixed in. So, this guy yells... "Candy, that's bull shit!" Without missing a beat my son says, "Mommy, what's bullshit?" And straight faced and honest I said, "It is a vulgar way of saying cow poop." And that was that.
So back to mother nature making it so cold that the poor tooth fairy couldn't go out and collect the teeth of little boys and girls. She better warm things up tonite!!! Or else, I'll have to tell Zeus about this. :)

Hey Cass,
This happens frequently at our house. Our tooth fairy must have early onset alzheimers, since the teeth are usually collected at 5:00 am, after she's woken up in a panic . . .
By the way, M asked what ED meant after accidentally seeing a Viagra commercial. I told him it was an adult topic. He continued to press me, so I told him that it means "Educational Disfunction". It means "kids who don't like school". M: "Why is that a grown up issue?" Me: "Because we DON'T like talking about kids who don't like school. School's great!" I would have been a drama minor, too, if I'd known I'd have conversations like that someday. . .
That was too funny. Well our Tooth Fairy is especially bad. She forgot again last night. Actually m was up when she arrived in the room. SHe was not just up at 12:30am but washing her feet in the sink. Luckily the TF figured it is much easier to come in the day when kids are at school and they can't try and catch you.
