True Tooth Fairy Tales

The Tooth Fairy is busy day and night writing and sending Tooth Fairy Letters, removing baby teeth from Tooth Fairy Pillows and leaving Tooth Fairy Gifts for eager and hopeful children. From time to time the Tooth Fairy receives a note or message from a child or from an adult sharing an amusing Tooth Fairy experience. These letters make the Tooth Fairy’s day!!

The following are a few amusing true stories the Tooth Fairy feels might give you a smile or chuckle:

Tooth Fairy Pillow, Too Small!

A three year old child received Toothy Tales and the Tooth Fairy Pillow companion in the mail. Not realizing the Tooth Fairy isn’t responsible for the removal or loss of baby teeth, this slightly misinformed but eager believer repeatedly urged her mother’s appeal to the Tooth Fairy for early and complete tooth removal. Intention was to place all baby teeth into the pocket of the Tooth Fairy Pillow for the promised Tooth Fairy gifts to appear — and right now!! The Tooth Fairy knows how things work in nature — all 20 baby teeth would not fit into the pocket of the Tooth Fairy Pillow! Undoubtedly, one of the reasons baby teeth fall out one at a time.

Tooth Fairy Flight!

From being habitually wiggled a “first tooth to be lost” popped out unexpectedly and disappeared at a most critical moment — while the owner was boarding an airplane!! Given the timing was inopportune there was no possible way to organize an adequate search for the escaped tooth. Thus, the person most concerned — the child — was forced to proceed onto the plane. This much anticipated baby tooth was truly lost. Other boarders observing the incident and hearing the protests and concerns of both child and parents began to search about on the floor of the terminal. You might guess what happened next and you would be correct. One of the last persons to board the aircraft walked in holding the stray tooth up for all to see. The passengers cheered, the finder of the tooth was a hero and, of course, the child was thrilled and greatly relieved. Did the Tooth Fairy have anything to do with the finding of this lost tooth? Only the Tooth Fairy knows for sure.

Tooth Fairy Believer

While receiving treatment for a broken arm, a grandmother told her physical therapist of the Tooth Fairy Books and Tooth Fairy Pillows she had just ordered for her grandchildren. With amazement the patient learned the physical therapist had not heard of the Tooth Fairy!! So astonished and a bit sadden by the revelation, the fun-loving woman brought her therapist a Tooth Fairy Pillow on a subsequent appointment. Enclosed with the Tooth Fairy Pillow was a personalized Tooth Fairy Letter to the physical therapist explaining how things work in the world of the Tooth Fairy and just what happens to lost baby teeth. The grandmother in turn wrote this note to the Tooth Fairy: "Words can not express the thanks and appreciation you rendered in making my physical therapist a true Tooth Fairy believer! Your Tooth Fairy Letter and Tooth Fairy Pillow were proof positive!!"

Tooth Fairy Hanger-Oner

While gathering consumer input for Toothy Tales from an 11 year old, the Perfect Pumpkin Press heard a Tooth Fairy Tale told with fond but subtle realization. The story goes like this: One of the Tooth Fairy believer’s baby teeth was extracted for orthodontic purposes. To lift spirits from this premature lost tooth, the child received a five dollar bill from her parents. As the child shared the event, she noted the Tooth Fairy had left an additional five dollar bill in her Tooth Fairy Pillow the night following the extraction. The child then paused, thought for a moment and smiled (almost giggled) in a knowing, grownup manner. Although unspoken, the truth of the Tooth Fairy’s existence was clearly revealed. The Tooth Fairy realizes this moment of awareness is inevitable but also knows children like to glean the rewards left in Tooth Fairy Pillows, no mater the belief level, as long as possible. Long live the Tooth Fairy and Tooth Fairy Fun!!
