A Tooth Fairy Mishap!

Yesterday Addison was bound and determined to get out her loose tooth before bed so she could get a visit from the tooth fairy. She wiggled and jiggled and finally begged me to pull it out before bed because she did not want to wait one more day. So I layed her out on the couch and removed her second cute little baby tooth. She did a dance for joy, showed everyone in the house, looked at herself in the mirror and practiced sticking her tongue through the space in her
front teeth, and then put it in a little purse under her pillow. So 10:30 comes around and I was all caught up in the drama of my Alyssa pity party that I went strait to sleep and forgot all about my Tooth Fairy duties that evening. So three o'clock in the morning I wake up from a nightmare. I had a dream that we forgot to put money under Addison's pillow and she woke up and was so upset. I wake up and realize my dream was about to come true. So I shake Ben awake and tell him we have to get a dollar under her pillow and quick. AKA WHERE IS YOUR WALLET! He said he did not have a dollar, he only had a 5. We gave her $5 for her first tooth but told her the first and last are worth the most. So as I concentrated on the dilemma at hand I started to crunch the numbers. If we give her the $5 we will be setting the bar high for the rest of her teeth. I added it up and by the time she loses all her teeth they would cost us $100. Then we would have to follow suit with the next 3 kids and that brings us to a grand total of $400 in teeth, and we haven't even mentioned braces yet. So I scratch my head thinking where I can find a dollar bill. That did not work so I scratched my rear and it came to me. I had stuffed some dollars into my vase on my dresser. So I fumble around in the dark for the light, remove my fake yellow flowers from my vase and retrieve a dollar bill. Sure we have quarters laying around and 4 quarters equal a dollar but to a kid a paper dollar is worth so much more. So I fetch the purse from under the pillow and exchange the tooth for a dollar, put the tooth in my little hiding place and crawl back into bed. Then I could not fall asleep so I wrote this blog in my head. Next thing you know it is 6:3am and Addison is running into our room showing off her dollar "just like the one from National Treasure!" Tooth Fairy saved the day! One quick question before I sign off. What do you do with your kids teeth? Chuck them? Save them? Do I really want to have a box of 80 baby teeth sitting on my night stand? Just curious!
