I knew it was going to be an interesting day when Ellie woke up earlier than usual. And not only earlier, but cranky. And not just cranky. Crying, twitching, fussy, whining. It never fails that when she has a rough day, it happens to be on a day I feel particularly tired and worn out. However, I still had hope that I could turn that frown upside down. But when she barely took her morning bottle and whine-ily squirmed off my lap, my hopes started to fade. Continue reading “RTF IS BACK, WITH A VENGEANCE”
DEAR REVERSE TOOTH FAIRY,
What did I ever do to you!? I’m sick of these games you are playing. It’s like you are dangling a raw steak in front of a dog. You are torturing Ellie, and you are antagonizing me. Did they not teach ethics in fairy school? I’m not even sure you graduated from Fairy School. Are you even certified? Your cousin the Tooth Fairy seems to have a much more effective operation. Not very profitable, but at least people welcome her. You on the other hand are a disgrace to all fairies and should be disbarred from the fairy council. Do you think just because you have an official title you can abuse your power and do whatever you want? What is it that you want? Your cousin gives money away. I suppose you want some? Are you holding Ellie’s two front teeth ransom? What’s your price? I’ll gladly pay it, and I’ll even chip in to get you new wings. Meet me in the alley behind my house tomorrow at midnight. Come alone.
P.S. I don’t like you being in my daughter’s room at night. Whatever you need to do, you can do it just fine during the day in the living room.
Disgruntledly,
Matt
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS…
my two front teeth… wishes Ellie. And Christmas couldn’t come soon enough this year!
Teething. It’s a crazy thing. Who would have thought that these little bumps that pop through their gums would cause so much pain. It’s like a rite of passage in becoming a toddler. I guess they call them growing pains for a reason. Every kid handles their pain differently, too. Some kids scream and cry non-stop. Some whine all day long. Some don’t sleep and some don’t eat. Either way, they all have to experience it. Continue reading “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS…”
