I've Figured Out How To Get Rich - Create a wake-up call like service for those mornings when the Tooth Fairy needs to arrive.

Thankfully, she came during breakfast.

When the kids both got to 10 years of age, I told them the tooth fairy doesn't visit them anymore because their teeth are too big to make their fairy castles with...they were both gutted...but I couldn't really perpetuate the whole thing, and they were getting suspicious that it was me anyway :-)

thanks for the memories

At 7:51 AM , Katrine said...: I have so been there. Fortunately the tooth fairy still comes for the believers. But for the child who knows where the tooth fairy REALLY lives, I can't remember the tooth fairy duties. So now my dd just comes to me with her tooth to recieve her fortune.
At 2:51 PM , Unknown said...: When you make this alarm, could you rig it so there is a way to wake up the Tooth Fairy and at the same time keep the child asleep.

Talk of the Tooth Fairy reminds me of the one nite our oldest child, Tansy, tried to "fool" the Tooth Fairy by sticking kernels of corn under her pillow.

The 'Tooth Fairy' was NOT fooled... and so before she lost her next tooth, Tansy wrote an apology letter to the Tooth Fairy. All was good between Tansy and the Tooth Fairy by the next lost tooth.

I remember the one morning I went in to kiss my dd awake. She opened her eyes and with her hand under her pillow, glared at me dead in the eye and said, "MOM, the toothfairy FORGOT AGAIN!!" Need I say, the "toothfairy" made a mad dash to the wallet and dd got herself $1 for that tooth!

Bwwwaahahahahhahahahaaa!

Just stopping by and saying hi
:-)
At 9:21 PM , Rosemary said...: LOL Great idea! I have gone to help the child look for the money and then slipped it into the pillowcase and then "found" it in the pillowcase. "look she must have accidentally put it in the pillowcase." Also, in our house, when the tooth fairy forgets, especially if it's for several consecutive days, the child gets a bonus amount. I think I once gave a child $20. I felt so bad about how long they had waited.
At 9:21 PM , Anonymous said...: Ahahaha! That is too funny. WE always forget too! My kids have been on to the whole thing for awhile anyway. I like the TF though even though I don't go for the EB or even Santa too much. They are young but already the gig is up.
At 6:05 AM , Vintage Papers said...: LOL! A service definately needed.
My niece just got $10 for her last tooth - I think I am out of the loop. My kids only got a dollar.
At 11:50 AM , sue @ postcards from paradise falls said...: LOL!!!! that's actually not a bad idea! you could probably figure out a way to automate it.
