["Dear tooth fairy, I lost my tooth that I lost today. I am really sorry that its not here....We swear the above statement is true."]
During the holidays, the Kid was inconsolable at losing the tooth she had just lost, so I suggested a letter to the tooth fairy (btw, Santa she is beginning to question, but the tooth fairy…this is more believable?), and all the adults would swear it was true. No, we had no notary, but it calmed her anyway. We hoped the tooth fairy would go on the honor system.
And she did! Whew! Close one!

We had a similar letter at our house last spring when O lost a tooth: “Dear Tooth Fairy, I know this is weird. Another tooth has came out of my mouth. The trouble is I lost it. I hope you understand. Sincerely, O.”
Luckily, the Tooth Fairy *did* understand. She seems flexible on the presence of the lost tooth.
Alicia, that’s a great letter! That Tooth Fairy is very forgiving, lucky for us all! I told mine that she can probably check your mouth to make sure you’re telling the truth when she comes. Gross, but still…
Hi, this is a very cute story. When my kids were little the deal was to put the tooth under their pillow (which didn’t always works so well as trying to switch the tooth for a quarter was tough) or in a glass of water on the window sill. I wonder where that came from? Our customs are weird, aren’t they?
Sue, I’ve never heard of that glass of water deal. Sounds dangerous if someone wakes up sleepy and thirsty…

Thanks, I just did what I could to calm the kid down, and it actually worked (for once)!
