Forgot to do Tooth Fairy duties for Kid #2 on Saturday night. She came in our room Sunday morning and was none to pleased about it. Quickly referenced the bad T-Storms that passed through on Saturday night as the reason for no money being there which seemed to appease her enough. I wrote a note on my hand last night so I wouldn't forget again.
Oh man. We've been good about it for 9 years. This year the clever little booger, who has been testing the waters with us, and trying to initiate THE TALK about Santa, the Tooth Fairy etc. baited us. Instead of putting it under her pillow, she left them out on the counter downstairs, without telling us, and then it was still there in the morning. I fired back, well that's cause you didn't put it under your pillow...duh. So the last one she lost at school, didn't tell us she lost it, put it under her pillow, and the next morning goes, so Daddy....
That led to Easter when she goes, "so Daddy, I think we need to talk...I don't think there's an Easter Bunny. Cause it's REALLY convenient that all the candy in our easter basket is EXACTLY the same candy as the stuff we have out in bowls and for decorations, between that, the tooth thing, and that silly Elf, I've got doubts" I just stared at her a minute, and she had that look where you are caught, she knows exactly how you're going to try to answer and she's got another card she's about to play, where you are just trapped. I had to take her in the other room and own up to all of it quietly away from her sisters.
