I have often been able to claim she was on maternity leave, but with time I am finding it hard to cover her tracks with that excuse. Sadly, our kids know where the Fairy sleeps and are not above waking her at....um....around 4:30 AM.... when they are cold and go to reach for blankets and their sleepy little minds (BING!) remember there is treasure in them thar pillows! But....there.....isn't??? What??? Yes. It is a harsh letdown and they are nothing if not righteous in their indignation. They march right in to where the Fairy is getting her (much needed, oft neglected) beauty sleep and comfront her with the injustice at hand (tooth?). She would be fired if it were up to me. And I have suggested that that is indeed the action to take. But my (greedy) children are far more forgiving than I am and always give that washed up old myth another shot. Lucky, lucky me....uh...Tooth Fairy. I have so many times been ready to fire that stupid little fairy as she has (way) more than once forgotten to pick up the goods and deliver the better goods!
