Tooth Fairy

Our Blythe has lost one of her front teeth.  It has made a large and delightfully cute gap in her smile, and given her a bit of a lisp.  The tooth was loose for several weeks, something unusual with Blythe as she likes to wriggle her teeth lots and lots so they come out quickly.  This one didn't.  It held on for a long time, and it bugged her.  She asked for dental floss help several times, but it just hung in there, firmly.

When it finally came out, Blythe was delighted and, with Ellen's help, wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy.  I will include the contents of the note, neither adding nor subtracting from its contents.  On the cover it said, "to the best tooth fairy in the world. from Blythe. PS. Ellen helped me." with a smiley face.

Inside it said:

Dear tooth fairy, my tooth fell out on february 23, 2016. plese come and collect it. In retren I would like 2 strawberry candes.  Thank you so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much!!

For the record, that's 101 "so"s.  She left the note outside her bedroom door on a wicker shelf she has. Unfortunately, the tooth fairy must have been very busy that night, because she didn't show up.

Oops.

However, tonight, the tooth fairy came and left a nice note with a dollar bill.  Here is what she said:

Dear Blythe,
That you for the wonderful note!  You have asked so nicely for me to leave you candy, but as the the Tooth Fairy, I am sorry to say, I can't do that.  Candy causes your teeth to rot.  Please accept this dollar instead.  You are so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so terrific.  I think your toothless smile is beautiful.
With much love,
The Tooth Fairy

Blythe did accept the dollar and seemed to understand about the two strawberry candies.  The tooth fairy didn't seem to have the time to include 101 "so"s in her note, so there were only 15.  She's a busy little person, the tooth fairy.

And speaking of busy little people, here is our beauty with her gap-tooth smile.
