My 6-year-old lost his second tooth and put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy to take and leave him some money. Guess what! The tooth fairy forgot!!
My son woke up the next morning and brought the tooth for me to see and said: "Look mom, the tooth fairy didn't come. How come?"
I said, while at the same time thinking to myself, the tooth fairy is such an idiot, how could she: "She was probably too busy. Maybe too many people lost their teeth yesterday and she couldn't get to everbody." Said this calmly, like it was something that happened all the time, acted very knowledgeable (is that a word) about tooth fairy culture and traditions. Continued: "Why don't you try again tonight and see what happens. She'll probably come."
Luckily, the tooth fairy was a little more responsible the second night and she did her job. But I think my son is beginning to have some doubts about fairies. When he found the coin the next morning he looked at me and said: "You did this."
I denied it of course.
