My eldest is hitting is preteen years hard. He seems to think he is above all of his siblings and has no patience with any of them. He has taken up the new hobby of name calling, like jerk, idiot and other lovely names. I've had my fill so our new rule is whenever he calls anyone of his siblings a name, he must pay me 50 cents. I figured this would surely cure him quickly as money is of the utmost importance to him.
Not long after the rule was made, he very impatiently and angrily called his brother a jerk. I gave him a look and he went upstairs to get his money. He came back down and plopped a tooth (yes, a tooth) into my outstretched hand as he headed outside.
I said, "what is this?!" He said, "It's worth a dollar. I figured it will cover this time and the next time I call Carson an idiot." "What?! i said, "how is this worth a dollar?" With a slight smirk on his face he said, "You tell me, I have that one and two others that the tooth fairy never made payment on."
Dang that tooth fairy!

LOL. Oh anna. you're in trouble with this one. that's a little too clever on about 5 accounts.
WOW! sometimes it is so hard not just busting into laughter. I know it is A LOT funnier when it isnt your kids!! I hope you are recovering quickly. ttfn
That's halarius! I need to remember that trick for when I lose another tooth. When I loose them Pretty much the first thing I do is go to my mom and say the tooth fairy is in debt. then I'll go to the bathroom or something and What a surprise! The tooth fairy finally decided to show up!
