I’m a tooth fairy

Scott lost a tooth yesterday, and I thought he was going to save it to put under his pillow tonight. He didn’t and came to me wondering why the tooth fairy didn’t come. I was confused, since we have had “the talk” about Santa, the Easter Bunny, magical beings, etc. Our I thought we had.

Me: I thought you were going to put it under tonight. Scott: YOU?! YOU MEAN THE TOOTH FAIRY ISN’T REAL?! Me: well, it’s like Santa, and the Easter bunny. I’m the Tooth Fairy. Scott: so, moms do it. Me: that’s right. Scott: then you’re not the Tooth Fairy. You’re A tooth fairy.

I’m wondering how many more times I’m going to have to have this conversation. My web of lies is unraveling!
