Tooth Fairy tragedy

This is Max's story of loosing his first tooth!
His permanent tooth was coming in behind his baby tooth and that baby tooth was not going anywhere.



We gave it a couple of weeks and told him to wiggle it and we had been wiggling but no luck so we had to go see Dr Blake. Max was so excited to loose his first tooth and all weekend he asked how much longer until I go to the dentist. I don't do well at the dentist myself, so Jake left work early and took him. It sounds like it was quick and easy. He put some topical numbing agent on it and then just popped it out!





Max was so excited to see me and show me his hole in his mouth.They gave him this cute tooth shaped holder that he could wear around his neck and he carried it around all night.Bedtime came and he was so excited to leave it under his pillow to get some money. I should have known when he came down 15 minutes later asking for me to take his picture with his tooth because this was his BEST TOOTH.

Well the tooth fairy came while he was sleeping and left him $4. She thought he would be pretty excited but, morning came and she was wrong!!!! I had my camera all ready and I went in his room and he was just laying there no expression... I ask, "What did you get?" Max replies bummed "Only $3 dollars, I wanted $20!" I help him find the other dollar under his pillow, but it did not matter he was set on $20. I try to explain she could not possibly pay $20 for every tooth to every child, but he does not care. So I go back to my room to finish getting ready for the day and 10 minutes later I go back to see why he is not up and going and he has the blanket pulled over this head.


I ask "what is wrong?"... no answer so I pull the blanket back and find this.....tears, tears, tears. SHE sniff sniff sniff TOOK sniff sniff sniff MY TOOTH!!!!! I WANT IT BACK! Oh my gosh is this for real?

So I try to explain that the tooth fairy takes your teeth and leaves you money. So he finally comes down to breakfast and I ask where his money is and he tells me back under the pillow. He does not want it, he wants his tooth. So I tell him I will try and get a hold of her and see what we can do. That night after work the first thing he asks "Did you talk to her?" I told him she emailed me and will bring the tooth back for $2 he says "fine all leave it all for her I don't want her money." Well, bedtime Tuesday night he quickly put all $4 on his night stand with his little tooth holder.




Good thing the tooth did not go in the garbage Monday night. Well we were all smiles and giggle this morning and he told me he is never leaving the tooth fairy ANY of HIS TEETH. More money in the bank for me! Ha! Ha! I Love this Kid! He is definitely one of a kind!

Max is definitely a one of a kind boy. I have never heard of any child asking for their tooth back!! He drives a hard bargain. Good thing you have the tooth fairy's email address. Max is so cute!
