Letter from the Tooth Fairy

The Tooth Fairy tried to get the tooth. But Emily's room was a mess, especially the bed. It was covered with toys, blankets and Emily's sister. So she left a note saying that she would come back if Emily cleaned up and made the tooth accessible. Amy, Emily's mom, reports that the child responded favorably and it's likely that the Tooth Fairy will return.

Well, she's a single mom with five kids. I can understand why she'd use any motivator she could find.

The tooth fairy isn't supposed to be about chores or rewarding good behavior or witholding rewards for not-so-good behavior. It's not supposed to be a teaching tool or a motivator or have a purpose other than being fun. This parent is missing out on the joy and magic of the tradition and robbing their kid of it,too. Sad.

After spending hours cleaning her room the day before, Emily woke up to find a new list with escalating demands. Do your homework. Study for the test. Help mom wash the dishes. No matter how hard Emily tried to satisfy the Tooth Fairy's demand, the night always bring a new letter with a new demand.

Life lesson here: Never appease terrorists and tooth fairies.
