Tooth Fairy Fail

So you only get that one first chance at creating the magical essence of the Tooth Fairy...apparently I failed.  

So the Wildman lost his 1st tooth last night, it was very exciting.  I busted out the 49er Tooth Fairy Pillow that the Mouth had used since his 1st tooth fell out 12 years ago with gusto and pride of the traditions that I get to once again celebrate.  Wildman proudly placed his tooth in the pocket and placed it under his pillow with his dreams and fantasies of the riches that will be coming his way...so at this point you might be thinking "Oh dear god, woman did you really forget to sprinkle the magic dust?"  

No of course not, because I am SuperMom by day and Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny and Santa Claus by night.  I waited patiently for the boy to fall asleep then worked my magic.  I slipped the tooth out and placed a one dollar bill in its place.  I dreamt of the excitement he would have in the morning on finding a whole dollar for one little tooth...these dreams were short lived.

When I awoke the dear "angel" this morning, he immediately put his hand under his pillow before even opening his eyes to check his treasure.  He looked in the pocket and instead of "wows" I got "ehhhh wahhh uhhhhh" as the pillow was chucked across my bed.  


WildMan:  "The tooth fairy didn't come" ...

NotSuperMom: Retrieving said pillow "yes she did look there's a dollar" 

WM:  "That's stupid"  taking the dollar bill and crumpling it up & throwing it across the room.
"That's not what I wanted."

SM:  Thinking it but not saying it WTF?? Instead, being calm & loving "What is it that you wanted?"

WM:  "A coin"

Alllll-righty then....so I tried to trade him 4 quarters for the bill...but he only wanted 1 quarter...which at this point him already being in a cranky mood also chucked said quarter across the room.

And this is why some animals eat their young.

It could have been so magical
