My daughter lost a tooth. She left a note for the tooth fairy (see inside) How should I respond?
My daughter's note: Dear Tooth Fairy, Why do you leave my friend a hundred dollars for each tooth, but you only leave me six dollars? Can you leave me a hundred dollars this time? Your friend, Taylor
Here's what I'm going with:
Dear Taylor,
Thank you for the nice note.
I give different children different gifts. Most get money, but some get toys and some get books. What each child gets depends on what the child needs.
You have a Mommy and Daddy who love you very much, a brother who adores you, two fine cats and more friends than most children could ever dream of having. You go to a wonderful school, have a fantastic teacher and your menagerie of stuffed animals is one of the finest I have ever seen. You live in a nice city, have plenty of food and are one of the luckiest and most fortunate little girls I visit.
Which of these things would you give up in exchange for ninety-four more dollars?
Instead of a hundred dollars I leave you six dollars to make you realize just how rich you already are!
Your friend,
Zelda (your Tooth Fairy)
P.S. I am leaving you an extra dollar in state quarters to thank you for the nice note!
P.P.S. Better luck with Santa!
Thoughts? Too sappy?
