My 10 year old daughter proudly showed me the huge bloody gap in her mouth where her tooth had come loose and had fallen out. Great I thought, the photographer is coming to take the yearly school photos next week and you’re going to have a great big gappy smile.
“Will the tooth fairy come mum?” she excitedly asks me
“Yes” I promise half listening to her “More bloody expense I think
She goes to bed and warns me for the final time to leave a note to the tooth fairy that sasy she is not sleeping in her bedroom tonight, she is jumping in with her big sister, so to guide her in that direction instead.
I cross my heart and hope to die and promise to write that note
Yes you guessed it
I forgot
She woke this morning with tears in her eyes that the tooth fairy forgot to come and asked if I had written the note
Shit
