Worst. Mother. Ever.

The Elder Child lost a tooth at school yesterday. The school was nice enough to give her a little tooth shaped pouch to bring it home in, which of course she made sure to show me. And I totally forgot to play tooth fairy.

I know that maybe I shouldn't encourage her belief in Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, but kids are only little so long, ya know?

So...anyone got any good ideas on how to make this up to her without totally destroying the fiction? The only thing I can come up with is a $5 giftcard to Starbucks - mainly because going to Starbucks always makes me feel better.

Help?
