Toothfairy.....YOU'RE FIRED!!


We have the WORST toothfairy.

She obviously hasn't read any of those beautifully illustrated fairy books you get at any bookstore.

The fairies in those books all have sparkly, glittery wings and wear dresses that are made from the most floaty, dreamy pink and yellow chiffon. They flutter ever so quietly into the lucky childs bedroom late at night and replace a newly lost tooth with freshly polished coins. They are always on time and they NEVER, EVER FORGET!

I think our fairy is illiterate or something because it's not uncommon for us to wait up to 3 evenings before the toothfairy remembers to visit us.

This time the toothfairy had some cash issues. Well to be precise ~ accessing her cash.

You see the fairies credit cards were due to expire and so the bank kindly sent the fairy two, spanking new credit cards.

So the fairy, during her lunch break, went to the ATM to withdraw some money but the hole in the wall unexpectedly rejected the fairies new cards. You see, the bank, in their infinate wisdom, had changed the PIN number on the new cards and she did not know what they were. It wasn't until she picked up the mail that evening, and opened a letter from the bank, that she discovered what the new PIN to her cards were.

So today the fairy is going to change her PIN numbers, withdraw some money, and write a big reminder note for herself, reminding her to visit the patient child, leave her some money and maybe even compensate her for having to wait so long.
