Z and S seem to have lost a LOT of teeth now and I’ve somehow got myself into a bit of a tooth fairy muddle. There were awkward questions one day and before I knew it I was on the phone to the tooth fairy telling her I’d leave the back door open so she could sneak in…..which then made it even harder to explain why she subsequently forgot to come……..
Z “Is the tooth fairy real?”
Me “Of course, who else would leave you money”
Z “Why did Daddy say fairies are not real?”
Z “How was the tooth Fairy born?”
Me “She is sort of Magic”
Z “Like Santa and God?”
I’m also struggling to explain how God was born if anyone can help with that one?

Yup good luck with that one! X
Ha, ha, thanks Jane!
Ours forgets to come too, Perhaps they were at each other’s houses and just a bit busy? *clutches at straws*
Yeah, I can go with that 🙂
Been a n epedemic of teethe loss lately and shes a bit behind herself. As to God well I would say Godas full of wonder and mystery and maybe he’ll let us know one day but that you don’t have a clue either (I use this for a lot of God questions)
Love that Becky 🙂
eeeek good luck with that! Would watching Ben and Holly help??? lol
I am getting a lot of questions about how babies are born and death at the moment! x
Eeeek, those are my least favourite!
Hmmm…. I would say “No one knows for sure. What do you think?” In fact that’s my answer to lots of questions.
Loving that response too Rebecca!
Good Luck with that one – cannot wait to read your reply!!! #funee
Well on the god front we heard a great story this week. Sophie who we recently travelled with mentioned that her niece had been doing evolution in school and then asked her mum “was god a monkey?”
Work that one out 🙂
Kitty got me stumped when the tooth fairy brought her a toy when her 1st tooth fell out:
‘mummy is the tooth fairy tiny?’
‘yes Kitty, very tiny!’
‘I wonder how she lifted such a heavy toy then’
‘Errrrr’
Good luck to that one. lol I am also struggling when Olivia wants to see Jesus.
oh dear what a lot of questions! We had an extremely naughty tooth fairy once who forgot to come. Thankfully it was a very stormy night and so it was clear that it would have been unsafe for her to fly with her delicate wings. x
Love those questions!! And I think Daddy is far too honest. Tsk tsk. I have aligned the tooth fairy with Santa and God too……..
Am I wrong for for telling them the truth? My oldest told he didn’t believe when he was 7/8 and I told him he was right.This was the same day he told me that Father Christmas was just a ma dressed up he knew where babies came from.As for god, they have always been taught some people believe, so I stick to that.
Naughty Daddy! I suspect we are getting to the same stage in this house too though… 😀 And the toothfairy is also forgetful here as well! 😀
Ooh I made my first fairy error recently. She forgot two nights running! To make matters worse, she remembered to leave an apology note the second night, but still didn’t come up with the money!
Ours forgot just last night, now I don’t feel so bad
Yeah that was my fave question at Sunday school. The answer they used to give me was
‘he was not born, he just is’
which always lead on to a confused ‘so he’s magic?’ and the awkward response of
‘no he is God’
That IS NOT a bloody answer!!
I’m dreading questions like this off my eldest. He’s so inquisitive that I’m not sure how I’ll worm my way out of it!
Oh bless him, I am strangely excited for all these questions to come from Mads!
So many things that they don’t include in the parenting manuals, aren’t there?! xx
Our tooth fairy forgets quite regularly, when I rummage about a bit though I usually find it under the bed or in the pillow case 😉 xx
