Criminal or Cleaning Fairy

Wouldn’t you love to come home to a clean house, freshly done laundry and dinner on the table? Sounds like Heaven doesn’t it? But what if the person who did those things was a stranger who broke into your home while you were at work to do those things? Doesn’t sound quite as lovely now does it? This actually happened. A man broke into a home in South Bend, Indiana, did some laundry, swept the floor and fixed dinner. The man seemed confused when police talked with him and needless to say the homeowner was a little frightened. The man … Continue reading →

How Much is the Tooth Fairy Laying Out These Days?

When I was losing my baby teeth, way back in those dark ages, it was a dime a tooth that I found when I turned them over. With my own children, if I remember correctly (and it was a little while ago too) it was a dollar a tooth. Although for the big molars I think the tooth fairy left $1.50 or, in the case of my middle daughter, she often wanted a toy or book instead of money—she just was never that into money when she was younger. Now that our tooth fairy days are done, I’m a little … Continue reading →

Yes Son, I Am The Tooth Fairy

In a previous blog, I wrote about my efforts to keep my tooth fairy identity a secret. Tyler has been losing his baby teeth over the past few months and had asked me if I was, in fact, the tooth fairy. I told him that I wasn’t and he believed me but I knew it was just a matter of time before I would have to tell him the truth. That time came on Thursday. For over a week, he had a loose front tooth and on Wednesday, it finally popped out. When he went to bed Wednesday night he … Continue reading →

Mama, Are You the Tooth Fairy?

Posted on by

Tyler lost a tooth Sunday and another one is anxiously waiting its turn. When the second tooth pops out, he will have lost four altogether. Tyler decided that he would stay up and catch the tooth fairy. He was quite serious about it, too. He noticed the teeth were wiggling Saturday and when I checked, I was certain that one or both would come out over the weekend. Bright and early Sunday morning the first one came out when he brushed his teeth. When his first teeth came out several months ago, a few days later he asked me point-blank … Continue reading →

Toothless (1997)

This made-for-TV movie stars Kirstie Alley as Katherine Lewis, a single, lonely dentist who has become so wrapped up in her career that she’s never taken time for relationships. When a freak accident ends her life and she finds herself in Limbo Land, between earth and heaven/hell, she is anxious to do whatever she can to redeem herself. With that, she’s given the job of “Molar Procurement,” to discover that she is now the Tooth Fairy. After putting on the ridiculous costume (pink and white corseted dress, high button shoes, wand and crown) she must learn how to fly, which … Continue reading →

Of Mice, Teeth, and Fairies

The magical day has arrived… Happy Halloween to those who are dressing up and celebrating today! I’m taking a break from putting the finishing touches on my costume to give some thought to the Tooth Fairy. Why? Because that’s what I’m going to be for Halloween! For many people, teeth are a milestone. When are the baby teeth coming in? When are the baby teeth falling out, to be replaced by adult teeth? The change from infant to child to adolescent can be measured in our teeth. In the days when superstition was strong, teeth falling out could be bad … Continue reading →
