DS lost a tooth this eve, didnt even know he had a loose one.
He's put his tooth out for tooth fairy and a wee note for her too.
Except its near midnight and we haven't any cash in the house or car or anywhere!
Some loose pennies but no pound coins-all were used in parking meters I think!
Any ideas? we're tired and drawing blanks here!!

Many moons ago my mother used to always call the tooth fairy on the phone…I’m sure there was a listing in the yellow pages….( as I imagining that or was my mum just excellent at bull shitting?)
There were times she called for me or siblings teeth and we were told fairy couldn’t come tonight…be here tomorrow or next week….

Yes, stormy weather. Try Saturday night, add to letter.

Tooth fairy is just a bit scatty and doesn't work to the same kind of rigid schedule as Santa. She sometimes takes a few days to realise there's a tooth and then can be a few more days to come back with the money.

Fairies are flighty little creatures, can't be helped, it's in their nature.

Cheque?

Does he play robloxs I left a note saying I've ran out off coins but check for robucks on your account my dd6 was happy with that.

HeckinMiffed · 19/02/2022 00:21

Thanks, loving the replies! Not stormy where we are but she'll be leaving a note saying she'll drop him pennies tomorrow night
He's 8 so not daft! His savings box is tightly monitored by him, when he gets new pennies he counts it all!
Damn tooth fairy!! She's as bad as the elf!!

Can you change someone’s name in your contact list to “The Tooth Fairy” and then get them to send you a message?

Our tooth fairy had awful timekeeping but did pay interest of 10p for every day she was late. See if yours might offer similar terms.

The last time the tooth fairy came to our house was when she found the tooth with a note saying "all major credit cards accepted".

HeckinMiffed · 19/02/2022 15:46

Ah, robucks or vbucks are a good idea! Fortunately he bought the storm excuse! We've procured a £2 coin, just have to write a note and wait for him to fall asleep!
Thanks! 😁

Mine used to write to the TF to say
'thank her for my money, but please do not to take my teeth as I want to keep them'.

pinkcattydude · 19/02/2022 15:55

Yes ours had to leave vbucks once or twiceBlush

HolyMerlot · 19/02/2022 19:13

Growing up I used to leave the tooth towards the end of a tissue and my parents would replace the tooth with a pound coin but would leave fairy footprints (dots) using a glittery (silver or gold) nail varnish leading up to the coin! But I do remember one time being left a bag of Maltesers instead (maybe there wasn't a £1 coin in the house). I believed in the tooth fairy longer than I believed in Santa so it worked well!

He's 8 so not daft! His savings box is tightly monitored by him

Hmm. Does he really still believe in the tooth fairy or is he just keeping schtum for the dosh??? Grin
