Dear Tooth Fairy: Gimmie, gimmie, gimme! 

As kids, most of us wrote letters to Santa, nothing unusual about that. But, did anyone ever write to the Tooth Fairy?

I did, though I'd forgotten all about it until a few years ago, when Husband Mike found the letter while we were cleaning out my mom's house. And ... it's Mighty Embarrassing how demanding I was. Though, in my defense (such as it is), I was 10 years old when I wrote it, and I think that by then, I strongly suspected that Mom/Dad were actually the Tooth Fairy.

So, for your reading entertainment, I present to you ...

My Letter To The Tooth Fairy
by Lisa, age 10

Handmade envelope; staples aplenty! Guess I didn't think tape was secure enough. Nice, flourishy touch with the "Y", eh?

The incriminating letter itself. I do remember that when I wrote it, I purposely listed Every Type Of Coinage -- with a dollar bill thrown in for good measure -- so as to not give the Tooth Fairy any sort of loopholes. ("Well, dear, you said you didn't want dimes, but -- ha, ha! -- you made no mention of quarters!")

In case you're wondering what in heck a "Glamour Gal" is, the Glamour Gals were small-sized fashion dolls that I was totally gonzo over as kid.

And no, I don't think my letter worked.

Ah, the things ya wind up postin' when playin' along with NaBloPoMo ... :-P
