I really can’t believe I’m sharing this with you, but I almost feel it’s my duty so that you will know what to say when your little one comes to you and tells you the tooth fairy is now giving out hundred dollar bills. Yes, you read that right - hundred dollar bills.

Kaia lost her front tooth yesterday. (you can check out her beautiful first grade smile on my blog at http://www.familywealthblog.com) And, the first “bad mommy” move was, I lost the tooth.

Ok, it’s not really lost;it’s somewhere, I’m just not certain where. There was a lot of commotion when I picked Kaia and Noah up from their dad’s house and the tooth got misplaced in all the husslebussle.

So, I recovered from that one by writing the tooth fairy a very nice note letting her know that she should leave her surprise under Kaia’s pillow and she could locate the tooth with her fairy powers. Kaia was accepting of that. Oh, and we put all the left over Halloween candy to see if the sugar fairy would come too.

But, then, I fell asleep while I was putting Kaia to bed and woke up only when Noah was crying for me from his bedroom, and I fell asleep again getting him back to bed. I spent the rest of the night fast asleep in his room and of course forgot all about the tooth fairy and the sugar fairy.

I didn’t remember until I was just about to wake Kaia up for school and I began frantically searching for something, anything smaller than the only bit of cash I had in my bag - a hundred dollar bill! My options were a handful of change or the hundred dollar bill and I had to act fast because now Kaia was awake and out of bed and hadn’t yet rememebered about the tooth or the candy, but I could feel it coming any minute.

I quickly distracted her, ran into her bedroom, stuck the hundred dollar bill under her pillow and grabbed the note. I didn’t even have time to grab all the candy. And, just at that moment, she remembered. “Mom, the tooth fairy! What’d she bring me?”

“A Hundred dollars?!?!? Mom, the tooth fairy gave me a hundred dollar bill! I’ve always wanted a hundred dollar bill!”

Kaia has her theory about why the tooth fairy left her a hundred dollar bill: She says the tooth fairy and the sugar fairy combined their funds. I said the tooth fairy must have had a vision problem, thought she was leaving a ten dollar bill and didn’t notice the extra “0″ on the end.

When your child comes home with the rumor that the tooth fairy is leaving thousands of dollars beneath children’s pillows and starts begging you to pull out his barely wiggly teeth, you can correct the misinformation - it was a hundred dollar bill left by accident when the tooth fairy thought it was a ten (or a one if that fits more appropriately into your budget).
