The Tooth Fairy...

Has bumped her head!!!!

First, a couple weeks ago I got a phone call from Miranda's school nurse saying that a little boy accidentally ran into Miranda and his shoulder hit her tooth so hard it was loose!

She said Miranda was very calm about it and seemed fine. I explained it was because this was probably the fourth tooth this child has knocked out of her own head. Seriously!

So after lots of complaining yesterday that it was getting really loose and bugging her...

Miranda woke me up at 2:45 a.m. last night excited because she had finally lost the tooth. (*Correction* the tooth had fallen out, as Miranda said, she didn't lose it, or it would be gone. lol)

I was so out of it all I could say was, "Oh yay! Well, the tooth fairy already did her rounds, so we will have to put it under your pillow tomorrow night for her."

I was half asleep people! ;)

It has been a while since Miranda lost a tooth, but I do vaguely remember giving her $5 last time?! I thought, it must have been because I thought she had swallowed her tooth and remember telling her the tooth fairy gave her extra for swallowing it??!!

So I asked this afternoon, "How much do you think the tooth fairy is going to leave you?"

Miranda: "Five dollars!"

Me: "Ummm...lol, that's a lot of money! How much did she leave you last time?"

Miranda: "Six dollars! She gave me an extra dollar for swallowing it!"

Me: "Well, you didn't actually swallow it, remember we found it under the couch later...so technically you owe the tooth fairy some money!"

Miranda: Honestly didn't say a word, but I looked in my rear view mirror and how I wish I could have taken a picture!!! Her mouth was WIDE open thinking about this! She didn't know what to say!

Me: "And the economy is not doing so well you know, the tooth fairy may not be able to leave as much as she used to!"

LOL! I know I'm awful, but why on earth was I leaving a child $5/tooth!? I have most certainly bumped my head!

So after LOTS of thought...

The tooth fairy left a $1 bill in Miranda's tooth pillow. I believe that is more than reasonable for a tooth!

And lesson learned...that trouble starting tooth fairy will not be leaving any $5 bills in Loren's pillow! Nope, Not starting that again! These girls have a lot of teeth left to lose!
