NOTE TO TOOTH FAIRY — by Steve Nadis
Many of you might think the tooth fairy job is pretty straightforward: You go to the pillow of the boy or girl in question, grab the tooth, and leave behind some financial renumeration ($1 is still the going rate from what I’ve heard). But when people are shifting around from bed to bed, it can get pretty complicated. Which is why my daughter felt the tooth fairy could use some help. The other night she tacked this note onto her bedroom door:
Dear Tooth Fairy — Our friend Jerry from California is sleeping in my bed. I’m sleeping in P__’s bed at the end of the hall. I’ll be the one along the edge of the bed. P__ is along the wall. Please don’t give the money to her.
Armed with this instructive missive, the tooth fairy was able to successfully complete his/her job. And you thought it was all just magic?

Kid’s got the right idea. Tooth fairies should have GPS. Losing tooth money to a rival who still has all its teeth (or at least no recent gaps) isn’t funny.
Well said, FW. Tooth $ is hard earned (weeks & weeks of wiggling) & ought to fall into the right hands.
I wish Santa Claus was as responsive to my letters… still waiting on that autographed picture of Linda Hamilton, Claus!
Try posting that note on your bedroom door; it worked for us and, with any luck, it will work for you.
very good!
