Monday Memory #2 - The Tooth Fairy
I remember when my Dad told me about the time I was so upset because the Tooth Fairy had failed to show up. Perhaps she was off cavorting with the Easter Bunny.He said I came out of my bedroom nearly in tears because the Tooth Fairy had forgotten me. Dad had to think fast…He followed me into the bedroom and while
I was apparently wailing and carrying on he simultaneously slid his left hand under my pillow grabbing my tooth while depositing a dime on the floor with his right hand. (Yes, one thin dime, people. I know some kids that get $5 these days! No way am I THAT old, gotta be inflation.)“Why here it is!” he shouted, pointing at the dime. “See, you must have knocked it on the floor when you got up.” I apparently bought that and all was well.
My Dad told me this story just a couple of years ago and we laughed and laughed. Dads are such heroes to little girls, no matter if the little girl grows up, gets married, moves away and has a family of her own - she'll always be "daddy's little girl". I love you Dad!

Thank you for sharing

Great memory! And great photo too! I usually do the Monday Memories, but I skipped yesterday.
I've pulled that trick, on my daughter. I was ALWAYS forgetting to be the Tooth Fairy. Talk about big-time mother guilt!
That is a precious memory Katherine. Dads are so special and the bond with "their little girl" is one that time doesn't fade.
