Toothless in New York

June 30, 2009 by David Bergman

This is too cute to keep to myself.

My five-year-old daughter Amanda lost her first tooth a few weeks ago. It was so loose that it came out while she was eating a banana.

Unfortunately, she didn’t notice it right away and must have swallowed it by accident. Baby teeth are small! She was a bit upset because we were planning on leaving it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.

We went with Plan B: leave a note.

On her own, Amanda wrote a note that any art director would be proud to commission. It’s the perfect “little kid writing” — written in crayon, backward S’s and all.

The tooth fairy apparently accepted her apology and took the note in exchange for a crisp dollar bill.

    Dear Amanda, I’m afraid we will have to pump your stomach this evening as you sleep in order to retrieve your tooth. If unsuccessful we will alert your father as to alternative procedures to recovering said tooth. -T. Fairy

    I agree David, way too cute to keep from posting. Your daughter is precious. Take it easy, and talk to you soon.

    Hi there,

    Mikas teeth look pretty much the same with gaps, that have already been closed again.

    Good to hear from you and see Amanda.

    How was the New York summer so far? We had a terrible June this year – freezing!!!
    All the best
    Thomas, Mika, Katharina

    Your daughter is beautiful! Last winter, at our public school, we were alarmed when a parent left a $20 bill under the pillow of a fellow second grader, so I’m proud you’ve kept your wits about you. Great work.

    Absolutely adorable!  What a way to freeze the moment!

    that is too cute. I love little kid handwriting. I don’t know though, with inflation seems like $1 is a little cheap for a tooth…
