The Tooth Fairy

Every have one of those days where the only thing that comes out of your childrens mouths are questions? And most of these questions you don't have an answer for. Well Monday was a holiday for the kids (Presidents Day) so we had lots of running around to do and things to be done around the house. Needless to say Chase was not happy about this, he thought he was going to be able to play soccer with the boys across the street all day long. Cause you know, their schedule is my schedule, NOT!



So, we're in the car on the way home from Linens-n-things (B1G1 sale, woohoo) and good ole Wally World and Chase says "Mommmm?" and of course I hesitate because of all the other questions that have already been asked. "Yes Chase?" Ok, here is where I tell you that I am horrible about remembering that before I go to bed I need to snag a tooth and well you know the drill.... It could be two days later and Chase will say "Mom, the tooth fairly's late again." Then I'm like Reba "CRAPPPP........" And he always pulls his teeth on a holiday when I have so much other stuff going on.



With that said, last week on Valentine's Day, I'm in the car pool line Chase jumps in with all his goodies from the party and says "Mom, I lost another tooth!" As I say under my breath, "Great" But out loud say "you got any left to eat with?" he then giggles. So Monday, he tells me that he looked in his Tooth Fairy Pillow and his tooth was still there and was now broken in two! Say it with me now "CRAPPPPPP!" I say really?? Guess the tooth fairy doesn't want a broken tooth!

I said as I laugh to myself. Remember now, Chase is going to be 10 in less then a month and you know he has to know what's going on, but we play along.



Now this is where my story gets funny. He wants to know why she doesn't want a broken tooth. Now come on, who does want a broken tooth? Right?? I tell him that the tooth fairy can't recycle it if it's broken. I kid you not, less then half a second later with the most seriousness of a face he says "YOU MEAN I HAVE SOMEONE ELSE'S TEETH IN MY MOUTH?!?" It took him no time at all to realize what I said about recycling to know what I meant. I'm at this point trying to keep the car on the road I'm laughing so hard. "No, but who wants a broken tooth?" I said.

Then a quiet little squeak of a voice from behind me says "I don't care as long as the germs are gone." "I'm kidding baby." I tell her. And so what have I done to myself now......MORE QUESTIONS.
