Posted under Family by Recovering Straight GirlRecently, DD#2 lost a tooth, and my wonderful wife was on it enough to remember that the damn tooth fairy needed to come. She basically saved my ass from being voted “Worst Mother of the Year, Reason #6.”
Well, I guess something is in the air, because the kid lost yet another tooth yesterday, and because she got a letter from the tooth fairy the last time, she thought she would do a little negotiating this time, (being as they’re friends now.)
Last night, as she lay asleep, I very carefully slipped my hand under her pillow to retrieve this note:
Dear The Tooth Fairy,
This is my 2nd tooth this month. I know that Mom C, and mommy, told me that 4 dollers is to much. But . . .
Can I have 4 dollers? PLEASE
or $3.75?
Can I ask you 2 qustings? Yes, okay.
Are you big or Small?

Bye,

Of course, HG took this as a challenge and carefully, on Tooth Fairy letterhead composed this letter back to DD#2:
Dear DD#2:
As you know, I normally leave form letters along with a monetary reward in the case of a lost or stolen tooth. However, since you have lost two teeth within a month I have decided to write you a special letter. Please note that I do not do this on a regular basis due to time constraints. I am often too busy to write letters in similar cases, but luckily this is a slow month for me.
You indicated in your note that you would like to receive $4.00 for your recent tooth loss. Although I would like to honor your request, I cannot do so at this time. There seemed to be an enormous amount of lost or stolen teeth during the month of December, which caused quite a disruption in our charitable organization. Therefore, I will only be able to leave the same amount as last time. I hope you can understand my predicament.
You also asked me two questions which I will now answer:
1. Q: Are you big or small?
A: I am as small as a flea, but as big as the love in your heart.2. Q: What is your middle name?
A: I do not have a middle name. My full birth name is Tooth Fairy.Thank you for writing to me and I look forward to serving you again in the future.
Sincerely,
T.F.
I know, I know. She is the greatest, I’m so lucky to have her, where did she come from and how do I get one? I hear it all of the time, and believe me, I’m aware. She must have a flaw or two somewhere, I just haven’t quite found it yet . . .
SIDE BAR: I’m making you want to puke, you’re sick of hearing how great my girlfriend is, you think I must be making this all up, because no one is that wonderful. Okay, well then I won’t tell you that as I sit on my lazy ass and write this, she is painting our bathroom. Yes, the bathroom that I was planning on painting when she was away in California last week. The one I didn’t paint because I was too lazy busy. The one that I went out and bought the paint for, but now she is in there, standing on the sink painting around the light fixture.
Huh uh, nope. I will not tell you that. END SIDE BAR.
I will tell you that if you are in need of a letter from any magical creature, just let HG know; she has it in good with all of them.
I love both letters! I’m smiling from ear to ear. Your daughter and your girlfriend are both extremely clever. You are one lucky lady.
And, personally, I’m not tired of hearing wonderful girlfriend stories. I think more praise would make the world a much better place. -Wendy
Yes, you are very lucky to have found each other. I used to visit your blog pretty regularly before you two were together, but for unknown reasons, it’s been a while since I’ve been here. Sorry. Reading this post makes me so happy for you all. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me that you two have gotten together.
What a great story! And what a great gf….she have a sister by chance??
She does have a sister Barb, who happens to be gay, but alas, she is in a committed relationship!
Sick of hearing it? No, no, no. You two give me hope!
Sick of it??
Nope, not a chance. If anyone deserves some sweet happy wedded bliss, it is you.
The letter rocks!
I think all of your blog buds just revel in your happiness RSG. HG is da best!
I LOVE HG! I hate to be critical, but she’s obviously made a mistake in the letter. Her middle name is “Tooth,” being that her official name is The Tooth Fairy.
That is a fantastic note! Isn’t it fantastic when you think of things to keep the magic alive for kids??
I never get sick of reading your stories! They are wonderful. I am inspired by your relationship. I can also relate in some ways…I also have a completely wonderful girlfriend. Isn’t love grand!
Love the tooth fairy story!
That is so cute. If I ever become an RSG I want a HG just like her.
*sigh* I miss you.
What an incredible little letter! It totally melted my heart to read the Q&A part in the TF’s letter back! “My full name is Tooth Fairy”. LMAO!!!!!!! SO PERFECT! That kid is going to love her mama when she gets older and sees how much she did to make her happy as a child.
And painting while standing on a counter, etc? Woah. Hope she has good coordination! I’d probably fall into the bucket of paint!
The sidebar part…she does sound amazing and, yes, where the hell can I get one?
Your HG sounds as good as mine, but alas, in our house I have to do the painting!
After reading the last few entries…I am designing a new clothing line..tshirts..caps..ties..earrings…”HG rules the world”….and RSG so deserves all the love and support and happiness - the best to you and HG and the girls. No doubt! You give me hope that SOMEDAY perhaps a HG will be strolling my way.
That is precious and priceless! I so wish that I knew you two in 3-D!
Hey! Email me! We need people to channel the big man in the red suit for kids every year.
She’s great!
That is the cutest fucking thing EVER.
I am serious.
So damn great.
But I would still like to know..how much did she get??? huh? huh? huh?
signed
pissy
I needed that this morning!
And I have seen HG clean up after you, so I know it is true.
