Well, Zoe lost another tooth this evening. I suppose more accurately I should report that she yanked out another tooth this evening. She's gotten quite good at getting those loose little buggers out. I made her leave the kitchen to finish this disgusting and very bloody task.
When I went to fulfill my obligations as tooth fairy I found the following note (transcribed exactly).
Envelope (decorated with nail polish and sparkles) addressed: to the tf
Hi my name is Zoe what is your name. my name is _____. I have to dogs, 4 cats, 6 fish the one that is in my room is a fiting fish. It is a boy. Oh are you a boy or a girl. ______. I had my toth this morning. Rite me a letter too. from Zoe to tF.
In case you're wondering, the tooth fairy is named Lloyd and naturally he's a boy. I filled in the appropriate blanks in her letter.
Lloyd wrote Zoe the following:
Dear Zoe,
Thank you for the nice letter.
I do not have any pets because I travel too much for my job. I have to go all over the world collecting teeth.
Don't forget to brush!
Love,
Lloyd (tooth fairy tf)
P.S. Thank you for all the teeth.
And she got a dollar with her letter.
Man, sometimes it's just so great being a parent!
