I believed in the Tooth Fairy (Funny Story)

When I was a child, I believed in the Tooth Fairy.

When I was a child I listened to the stories my parents told me about the tooth fairy.

At that time, my school friends also shared their experiences of pulling the tooth out and putting it under the pillow for the tooth fairy to go get it.

I was always very happy when I pulled out a tooth to put it in the pillow, but I was always disappointed! My parents never went to get the tooth and never left the money there.

They completely forgot!

I remember one of the nights when I thought the tooth fairy was coming to get my tooth, I remember that night I didn’t sleep at all, I was always waking up and anxious for speech to come and I I couldn’t see her!

I even thought that the tooth fairy didn’t like me, look at the child’s nonsense haha.

I promised myself that when I had children that I would be more careful when they were changing their teeth so that the fairy would always appear for them.

My husband also has a very similar story to mine! His parents also never went to get the tooth from the pillow and never left the money there.

My husband thought the tooth fairy never read she went to get his teeth because the windows of the house were closed and she had no way to get in, so she was always outside in the cold. Have you ever seen the imagination? ahaha Do you have any cute tooth fairy stories? Tell me everything in the comments! ❤️
