The Toothfairy DOES exist!

[fuindordm]

My parents didn't give me money all of the time. Sometimes I got letters from the toothfairy, and once I got a magnet with my name on it. And that was really cool for me, because I could never find anything with my name on it. I guess the souvenier guys don't see a lot of Gerties.

Reminds me of that episode of Dead Like Me where you get a flashback to George's life:

She puts a tooth under her pillow, goes to sleep...

We see Joy writing 'You are Loved' in calligraphy on a little scroll tied with ribbon. She puts it under George's
pillow.

In the morning, George takes out the scroll and looks at it.

"This sucks!" she says, and tosses it in the trash can.

I loved that show.

That's when you explain the Tooth Fairy's Post Traumatic Storm Disorder to the child!

It had been rainy that night too, so we were able to get a bit more mileage out of the "little tooth fairy; big storm" story. We made sure to put the money under the pillow the next night.

Of course, that's also about the time her older brother came and asked us skeptically if there was really was such a thingas a tooth fairy/Santa Claus/Easter Bunny/etc. He had figured it out and wanted us to confirm it.

It was a sad day for my wife.

Nothing beats the time when my mother handed me a dollar and said, "This is from the tooth fairy."

I replied, "But I didn't lose a tooth."

She said, "Yeah but if you keep acting like you have been I'm probably going to knock about four out by tonight!"

Discussion of the Tooth fairy always makes me think of the movie Tommy Boy

Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why do they put a guarantee on a box? Hmm, very interesting.
Ted: I'm listening.
Tommy: Here's how I see it. A guy puts a guarantee on the box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.
Ted: Yeah, makes a man feel good.
Tommy: 'Course it does. Ya think if you leave that box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter.
Ted: What's your point?
Tommy: The point is, how do you know the Guarantee Fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy, but we're not buying it. Next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.
Ted: But why do they put a guarantee on the box then?
Tommy: Because they know all they solda ya was a guaranteed piece of . That's all it is. Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for right now, for your sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality item from me.

<sigh> Chris Farley was a funny SOB

That little story just made my (rather crappy) day, Rel. I needed to smile. Thanks!
