Dear Tooth Fairy

Our tooth fairy is so unreliable. She never comes on the night of the lost tooth. Our children have been very understanding of the busy schedule a tooth fairy must have. I mean, come on, it's not like she's Santa Claus and can visit every child on the planet in one night. (All but one of our children still believe in Santa Clause and we had to break it to the one that doesn't believe because he was getting teased at school for still believing).  Years ago we started a tradition to make it easier for our tooth fairy to find teeth under the pillow. We had them tape the tooth to a piece of paper. Then one day, Calvin lost the tooth before it could be taped to a piece of paper. I told him to write a note explaining that he lost the tooth. He explained where he lost it, in Uncle Layne's car. His hand writing was not very good and the R looked like an N so it sounded like he lost his tooth in Uncle Layne's can. Yeah, in his can. Anyways, lately our tooth fairy has hit a new low. She was exceptionally bad and came over two months late. When she finally came to collect Dana's tooth, she found a letter that asked where she had been all last month. Dana was very thoughtful to wish her a happy Valentines Day though.
