The Tooth that Cost the Tooth Fairy Double

As you may recall the tooth fairy has been making a lot of visits to our house lately. During this last visit the fairy had a hard time obtaining the actual tooth. The fairy was able to leave her payment, but the tooth was rather well hidden directly beneath Leo's head. Rather than risk being detected the fairy slipped away. For the previous two teeth pick-ups Leo has forgotten to check under his pillow until reminded by his thoughtful parents. The fairy thought once Leo was awake he might forget to check once again, and when he was out of the room the fairy could sneak in and snatch the tooth.

Wouldn't you know that when Leo's mom came to check wake him up in the morning the most amusing thing was waiting for him. Leo was wide awake and had a curious thing to show her, "Look at this mom the tooth fairy left me a $1 and my tooth. Why do you think the tooth fairy did that?" Being the smart mother that she is, and being well aware of how difficult it can be to carry all of those teeth the obvious answer was that the fairy had simply dropped it. Mom assured son that the fairy would probably be back that night to collect it. Whereupon Leo stated, "Great then I can get another $1"! That fairy had better start working out a better system or business is going to start going down hill.
