    Help! My daughter lost a tooth last night and put it in the tooth fairy jar she has. The tooth fairy didn't show! I feel like crap about it, just totally forgot. She got up this morning with huge tears in her eyes and her tooth still there. Any creative ideas out there about how to make this up to a 6 year old?

    Perfect time to tell her about the recession and how the tooth fairy is on a furlough imo.

    Then change it to tooth fairy stimulus package and give her 5 bucks.

    Apology letter from the tooth fairy

    Dear toothless child,

    I fucked up and got drunk, was too hungover so I called out sick.

    Sorry,

    Tinkerbell

    Tell her that the tooth fairy is an alcoholic and you just can't depend on her. Just let her know that she'll show up eventually.

    Take her back to her bed and say, Are you sure you looked hard enough?

    Then move around the covers and drop the money on the bed when she aint looking. EZ game.

    This would be the best way to handle it. Maybe even take her pillow and slide it into the pillow case and shake and and have it fall out.

    Scheduled for after I explain to some random kids that a ghost with a bucket of sand doesn't come in their room and drop it in their eyes while they sleep.

    lol I'm joking anyways beki, obv I'll do the same things when I have kids down the road. I agree that it would be better to wait another night rather than sneaking the money in there now, simply because the tooth is still there. If you wait another night you can get rid of the tooth and put the money there

    At 6, they won't question things too much, here is what I would do (if you haven't done anything else already). Tell her, when you were a kid, the tooth fairy occasionally left her money somewhere close to the tooth (but not there) and left the tooth behind (this happens if her tooth bag gets too full).

    Tell her your good at finding this, so have her get ready (out of the room) and you'll help. Then, toss some money down, and either find it yourself, or leave it for her to find.

    We're going for the 'too busy' line here and gonna try to remember it tonight... FML if I forget again, it'll cost me an iPod... Typed up a note in a fairy-like font explaining that she got too busy last night (even though I liked the alcoholic and poker playing lines). And will definitely line up the glitter on the $. Good ideas, thanks!
