Moral Dilemma
 

My daughter has lost her two front teeth. She swallowed one but has the other under her pillow right now so that the Tooth Fairy can take it tonight.

Obviously the Tooth Fairy knows that she has lost two teeth and will pay her accordingly. However the "Tooth Fairy" gave his last £1.50 to a dejected looking man on his way home tonight and so has no change to put under said pillow.

So does the "Tooth Fairy" borrow some money from a little girl's piggy bank or let the little girl suffer the disappointment of not having a visit from the "Tooth Fairy" and possibly losing faith in his existence?

Obviously she will come to realise that all of the fairy tale characters she currently believes in are fictional (unicorns, fairies, god etc) so perhaps this is a good place to start?

Obviously I will pay no heed to anything you say because I'm not stupid and have six years of parenting experience to fall back on but it would be interesting to hear the stupid things some of you will inevitably say.

 

i would steal some money and blame the tooth fairy.
then she can learn something about humanity already.
even tho the tooth fairy is not human, yet.

piggy bank of course.

go out and kill a fairy, and then put its mangled body in the gap seperating the window from the frame and close the window.

Give her a sonic youth record!!!1one soniklife!oneeleven

Does she need the change in her piggy bank first thing in the morning?

Just leave the tooth under her pillow.....or an IOU

I would kindly explain to her that "in these hard times" the "tooth fairy" has been replaced by the "tooth witch". you can then promptly bury the tooth to prevent said witch from flying by.

you're not throwing the tooth away are you? can i have it?

if it were me, I'd make sure that the child had a healthy respect for swallowing teeth by "keeping an eye out for the tooth witch".

Have the tooth fairy write a letter about how the current finances have had a negative impact upon his trade and assure that, once alternative funding has been secured, she will receive her owed sum.

Then put money under her pillow when you have the money.

No but you can have mine when they start falling out.

write her a cheque

Who the fuck uses cheques these days? I don't even have a cheque book anymore:mad::cool::eek:

is it a promise? thank you.

do you accept paypal?

go buy something to get some change you tool.

these are hard times. so don't call him a tool, wrenchmouth.

debit swipe pillow?

too much cocaine?

I would stop paying homeless people, because it really doesn't help the situation. And write the child an IOU from the fairy with an explanation.

back in the day, when everyone was getting wired, I'd have a couple cups of coffee and chuckle softly at my cost-savings.

I'd write her an IOU saying the tooth fairy ran out of cash, and leave a few cookies with it as well.

Dr Rockzo is the best.

Use Monopoly money.

It was Sunday and late. This is England you fool.

She's not retarded:rolleyes:.

Be careful what you say in jest. Some people actually believe that kind of tosh.

...

She doesn't believe in the tooth fairy anymore despite me coming up with the money. I got it out of my savings account (back of the sofa).

She says if Santa exists why doesn't he give presents to poor children instead of us having to send parcels to them?

Santa doesn't exist therefore neither does the tooth fairy.

damn she's smart. she's like - santa can give us whatever present we want but he can't give us the gift of taking away western material guilt so he lacks authentic existance. she's a marxist genius.

that's pretty much what it means by "america" right there.

garage. toolbox.

smart kids are hard to parent.

still, you should have taken my advice about the tooth witch.
