Mithing Tooth
by Anonymous
I’m having trouble thpeaking,
thinthe I lotht my middle tooth.
Jutht yethterday my tooth wath fine –
today it wiggled loothe.
At firtht I thought it thilly,
when my tooth fell out today,
But no one theems to underthtand
a thingle word I thay.
I athked my mom to clothe the door,
she said “I cannot make it.
The door does not like wearing clothes;
it’s happier when naked.”
I athked if I could have a mouthe,
I promithed I would feed it,
“Another mouth to feed?” she athked,
“I’m certain we don’t need it!”
I wonder if you underthtand
the thircumthtanthe I’m in.
I told her I wath feeling thick.
She thaid “you’re looking thin.”
At latht she thaw how mad I wath,
Ath if I may thtop breathing.
She laughed and thaid she didn’t mean it –
She wath only teething.

My parents always left me a dollar under my pillow, and that’s what I give to my kids as well. Sometimes I’ll leave other gifts along with the dollar.

The Tooth Fairy left me a special note and $2 in shiny quarters.

Our tooth fairy leaves $5 per tooth. She also leaves a trail of glitter around the room and tucked inside the money. Our kids love it.
