Enter Lara with a very sad face.
Lara: Mom! The tooth fairy forgot to come last night!!
Me: Oh....Ummm y'a. She called last night and told me she could not get through the snow and ice.
(she called? that was a stretch)
Lara: Is that true?
Me: Ummmm y'a...of course.
Lara: (very sad) oh.
Me: Sorry hunny...I'll bet she will just be late.
(Meanwhile I go outside to gather eggs)
Me: Hey Lara, I checked all the tiny cracks in the house where the fairy normaly slips in the house and they were all plugged up with ice. BUT when I went out to gather eggs I left the door open. Tooth fairies will wait as long as it takes for an opening to get in. Maybe she slipped in?
(Lara runs upstairs to check and comes screaming down the stairs)
Lara: Mom!! She came! and she left me Two dollars!! She must have felt bad that she was late!
Pwew!!!!!

Oooo, this is the third deliquent tooth fairy story I've read here in the blogosphere in about as many days! Maybe it's time for her to retire; she's getting downright forgetful!! Or maybe it's just time there was some competition for her job. Maybe she's just getting lazy!
Glad it all worked out!
Too funny! I'm glad she bought the story!
Oh, that tooth fairy is very smart!!
Thats what being a parent is all about.
Reminds me of the time I told you if I unscrewed your belly button your bum would fall off. You sure were cautious for awhile when I walked around with a screwdriver.
Dad
Ok, your dad is stinkin hilarious. Good call with the tooth fairy crisis!
Awww! So sweet!
Good on ya. I only hope I can be just as creative. Apparently Maia (France's daughter) was being a total stinker last night. When they finally got her in bed, she was read a story about Santa and she cried the most hysterical sad tears ever because she thought she'd pooched her chanced of getting gifts. She kept saying "Pere Noel...des cadeaux aux gentils enfants...moi non gentille... BWAAAAAAAHHHH"
Poor thing. :) So France kept trying to tell her that Santa knows sometimes we're tired and sometimes we do silly things, etc. etc... heartbreaking.
OH, PS- pick a different tune, okay? I suggest: Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.
