The Tooth Fairy Forgot

Isaak lost a tooth this week. It's been awhile since that's happened. With this one he was bleeding quite a bit. 

Isaak said, Mom blood actually tastes good.

I said, Isaak it's ok to think that, but don't tell kids at school that. It makes you sound like a Vampire. It's probably best not to try and taste your blood. Just spit it out.

Then of course he asked, Why?

I gave a half assed answer, Because I just heard it's not good for you. It probably would give him extra iron, but he doesn't need to know that. 

Dad and I both knew about the missing tooth, and we both forgot about it. 

Isaak said in the morning, Mom the Tooth Fairy didn't come!

I said, Oh that sucks! She probably got busy. She'll come the next night.

Isaak said almost crying, You mean I have to wait a whole other night! That's way too long!

I said, You never know. She may have just gotten busy, and will come, while you are in school.

Isaak asked, Do you think so?

I said, I don't know for sure. We'll just have to wait, and see. By the way is the Tooth Fairy a girl, or a boy? I always thought it was a girl, but I suppose it could be a boy. What do you think?

Isaak said, I think it's a girl.

I asked Travis, Do you have any change?

Dad said, Yes.

I asked, Can you please put it in his box this morning? Tell them to go to the car. Forget something, and go put the money in his box.

That's what Dad did. Along with an itty bitty note.
