“The Tooth Fairy Was Captured (And Other Lies I Tell My Kids)”

Because when the tooth is still under the pillow and your kid starts asking questions, you better have a story.

Let me paint the scene:

It’s 7:06 AM. I’m pouring coffee with one eye open and my kid runs in holding last night’s tooth —cashless.

Cue the parental heart attack.

You guys. I forgot.

The Tooth Fairy flaked.

Or rather... I flaked.

But instead of panicking, I channeled my inner morning time improv queen and blurted out:

“Oh no... the Tooth Fairy’s been captured!”

Captured?!

Yes. Apparently by the Mischief Mice of Sparkleville.

She was last seen near the LEGO landslide in the living room. Rescue efforts are underway.

The Best Part? My Kid Bought It.

Not only did he believe me—he instantly went into mission mode.

“Can we write her a letter? Can we help rescue her? Should I leave out snacks for her little fairy friends??”

Parenting win? Maybe.

Chaotic energy? Always.

Hot Mess, Handmade? Without question.

Why We Do This:

Because moms forget things.

Because life is messy and sparkly and sometimes you’ve gotta build a fantasy world on zero sleep and hope they never ask questions later.

Because sometimes you are the Tooth Fairy, the janitor, the snack lady, and the CEO—all before 9am.
