After two different teeth falling out and giving the tooth fairy lots of repeat business, Gavin wakes up and tells me one morning, "Mom, the tooth fairy didn't come again last night."
"What did she need to come again for? You've already broke the bank with all your teeth recently."
To which he non-chalantly replied, "I had another tooth under my pillow last night."
"WHAT?! You didn't tell me you lost another tooth!"
"Exactly. I was trying to see if the tooth fairy would still come if I didn't tell you guys about my lost tooth."
So he's playing a little experiment on us is he? I'm thinking maybe he's on to something.
So, that night he goes to put his 3rd lost tooth under his pillow, but can't find it. So, he decides to write a note to the fairy. As you can tell, he went all out.
For reasons unbeknownst to us, the tooth fairy did not show up that night. Come to find out, we had two very disappointed children. Apparently, Chloe jumped on the note writing bandwagon and left her own note for the fairy.
We told both the kids that under no circumstances will the fairy come unless there is a bona fide tooth under the pillow. She does not answer questions or write notes. Do you think you can leave a note for Santa under your pillow any day of the week and expect him to respond? Come on now.
I'm thinking its time we had a little heart to heart with Gavin. I'm actually thinking he's been playing us for quite some time now. What people do for money.
