Tooth Fairy & the Tooth Devil

Lil daughter lost her 5th teeth. She is cool about it now. Busy trying to lose one more so that she can catch up with the topper. I remember the time she lost the first one..
Pizza hut. Tooth has been wobbling for weeks. She is worried. Will it fall out? Will it be painful? I offer to pull it out. Wrong move. Burst into tears and jumps into Mummy's lap. Beta, take a bite. Says mummy. Hard stuff - courtesy Pizza Hut. Yow!! More howls. Wheres the tooth ! WHERE IS MY TOOTH!!! Tooth is missing. Mummy finds it. Looks like a pearl. A little bit of blood. Lil is shattered.
I tell her about tooth fairy. about pillows and magic in the night. she listens. Will she come tonight?
Ouch, wrong move, shops are closed!! No dumma, you have to email her. (yeah, yeah). Mail address is toothfairy@toothfairy.com. Night, she mails with mummys help. Methinks, I'll delete the bounce later, and get her something tomorrow.
Wonders!! There IS a tooth fairy. ( all domain names are registered, including tooth fairy!!)She replies - Congrats, etc etc. and Have a sugar free day!!
I look like a fool. I payout, she gets the credit.
5 gifts later...........
She is NOT brushing her teeth. Bad. Threats dont work. Girls usually get their way.
Enter tooth Devil. Bad guy. If the tooth caries, he comes. In the night. What about the gift - dumma asks suspiciously. No Gifts - all knowing papa replies. Only spiders, frog legs, coakroaches, snakes ( small ones only) get left under the pillow.
No problems with teeth brushing now. Till she figures out......
