Helping the Tooth Fairy


Malone lost a tooth today and I was hired by the tooth fairy as a helper. The tooth fairy usually works with Lisa but she's out of town for a long weekend.

This tooth fairy is way better than the chick who visited us growing up as kids. Apparently the going rate these days for a tooth is five bucks. I think I got a quarter.

So my job was simple enough. Wait until Malone's asleep. Sneak in and get the tooth from under her pillow. Then replace it with a five dollar bill. I had to use a five from my wallet because the tooth fairy couldn't get the cash to me in time.

I was a little nervous that I'd wake Malone while making the switch but I think I pulled it off. I feel better now that the exchange has been made.

I hope that fairy sends me the five dollars soon. I have lunches to buy.
