Cheapskate ToothFairy
Big excitement at our house in the last day...
Yesterday I was awakened with a blood curdling "MOOOOMMMMEEEEEEE!!!" I could hear the pitter patter of little feet running towards my bedroom door. Oh God, what now...? My eyes were still crusted shut with sleep, so I blindly searched for the tv remote and threw it in the direction of the feet and said, "watch some Dragon Tales and give Mommy a minute". Mother of the Year rides again. But when I looked up Elizabeth was standing next to my bed with a bloody mouth...great, now I HAVE to get up...It turns out she had lost her FIRST TOOTH!!! We had noticed it was a little loose a few days ago, but that was quick! We put the tooth in a ziploc bag, bloody roots and all!! Elizabeth insisted she take it to school to show her classmates. Snack time would be a good time to share...
Anyhoo...Elizabeth came home from school and informs us that her good friend, Kiki, told her the Toothfairy brought Kiki $10 when Kiki lost her first tooth!!! Hmmm, I do believe Kiki's Toothfairy needs to put down her crack pipe. Damn that Kiki! Well, after consulting with OZ (aka my husband), we put a one dollar piece under Elizabeth's pillow. She was thrilled...

Good for you for not caving in to the demands of those who are obviously monetarily retarded (Kiki's parents, of course)! Max got $1 for each of his first 2 lost teeth, and luckily, he still has no real concept of the difference between $1 and $5. He was just thrilled to have the cash.
