While Emily was here, her front tooth fell out. She is the only one of the three kids who still believes in the tooth fairy and Santa and all that. Of course, Even though my two know who the tooth fairy is, we still play along and give them a toonie under their pillow when they loose a tooth. Emily got a toonie for her tooth. She let us know the next morning that she wished she had waited to place the tooth under her pillow. "At my mom's house I get five bucks!" she announced. All that I could come up with was that it was a very small tooth that she lost and that the ones at her moms house must have been bigger. What I wanted to say was that if I had only one child, and was getting $1100.00 a month from my ex, the executive tooth fairy would visit my house as well. Our tooth fairy works a little harder and yet is underpaid. She's doing the best she can and thinks that the children should be grateful for what they get.

Why IS that? I mean, I hear from my step-child as well about how much more stuff/money/whatever he gets there. And I want to say, "if i was your mother, and left your dad for some steriod selling hulk at the gym; and i was lying to everyone about why i do not have custody of you: I'd be giving in to guilt and doing all this shit for you too. As it is, I'm honest and do my best, so you'll have to make do with what you get".
What DO I say? "I dunno, Dylan.. maybe the tooth-fairy didn't get a thank you card last time. Did she?"
HA! Y'all are both hilarious. I'm going to have to store up the "no thank you card" and the "she's a bit overworked and underpaid" thing.
Also, I think this applies to Santa as well.
