If you’re too jaded to handle the cuteness factor of kids’ overly-demanding notes to the Tooth Fairy, you still might get kick out of this tooth-in-cheek note from the Tooth Fairy herself.
Explains Mindi (a.k.a. Mindy) from Santa Cruz, California: “In elementary school, I played the string bass in the school orchestra, and my parents were paying for private tutoring lessons. Obviously, I wasn’t practicing enough!”
Adds Mindi: “I later cut this out and put it in my scrapbook. (The ‘really?’ on the side was mine.)”

Thank you so much PAN goddess for posting “Go the F**k to Sleep”. I so wish I had had that while I was endlessly trying to get my kid to do just that.

This is why Mindy / Mindi has swapped out her Y for an I affectation. Even her fairies were controlling.

Everyone except Hannibal Lecter should be shit-scared to get a note from the Tooth Fairy.

Her own parents couldn’t spell her name correctly?

I want a follow-up. Did the toothfairy ever return to Mindy’s house?

GOOD! Don’t ever come back! The last thing I need is a fairy in my bedroom redecorating and crap while I’m trying to catch some Zzzs.

Oh Geeeee
Hold up, I’m confused. School string orchestra leads me to think she had to have been at least 9 or 10 because most school band/orchestras seem to start in like 4th grade, right? If that’s the case, how many teeth could she have possibly had left? Even if she was still losing teeth at a significant rate, what self respecting 4th grader either still believes in the tooth fairy, or cares enough about a mere $0.50 to actually practice an instrument more? I mean a quarter is exciting when you’re 6 and significantly less so when you’re 10.

yeah that is what happens when you give the kid 10.oo for a frickin tooth. time to cut back to the good old days where a quarter would suffice and NO bribes were needed!

It reminds me of Christopher Walken on The Simpsons reading “Goodnight Moon”! The drunken handwriting is probably the result of the parent writing with their other hand to try to disguise the hand writing. They appear to have given up further down the note, which is what you do because you just want to go to bed yourself and you’ve already stayed up late with an excited child who won’t go the f*ck to sleep!! Gosh, I guess I was holding that in a while…
