Tooth Fairy.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm struggling for posts for today.  It happens sometimes.  I had the haircut last night, then talked to my mom for too long, and had to give Buster his medicine.  Sooooo, yeah.  I'm struggling for a post.  Since I can't think of anything else I figured I'd tell you a fun story.  [Sorry for those in my life who've already heard it.]

My sister has a five year old in her life at this time.  Bronson.  Bronson's the best.  [So is Jordan, the nine year old!  But this story is not about her.]  Sometime last week my sister texted me a picture of an adorable Bronson missing his big, front tooth.  It was decided that a dollar would be fitting because it was a front tooth and a dollar made this Bronson veeerrrryyy happy.  So happy that he came home from school the next day with his SECOND big tooth missing.  Then a few days later, a third went missing.  [This kid obviously likes his cash!]  When he started working on his fourth tooth in the car my mom made an executive decision...

Mom Cell:  Hello, Tooth Fairy!
Me:  Uhhhhh, hi???
Mom Cell:  I'm here with Bronson and he's pulling his teeth out, so I told him we would call the Tooth Fairy and she would talk to him.  Can you talk to Bronson about not pulling his teeth out, Tooooth Faaaiiirryyy??
Me:  Really?  We're gonna do this?  Uh, okay.

[phone passed to Bronson]

Me:  [in light, airy voice] Hellloooo, Bronson.  It's the Tooth Fairy!  I've heard you've been pulling your teeth out.  It's a rule I have that I can't visit the kids who pull their teeth out.  I can ONLY visit you if your teeth fall out on their own.
Bronson:  BUT, you visited me before!
Me:  Well, yes, but that was when your teeth fell out, right?  Are you going to stop pulling your teeth out so I can come visit you again?

[Bronson hangs up on me]

Bronson:  The Tooth Fairy is MEAN and I am NEVER talking to her again!!!
Sister:  Bronson, are you going to pull out any more teeth?
Bronson:  [pause] No.

Another job well done!  Feel free to give me a call if you need to terrify a child into submission.
