Ralph,
We don't need no stinkin tooth fairy.  Anyway she doesn't come to our
house anymore.
She came for the first tooth Alex lost and she came for his second
tooth.  However, unbeknownst to the tooth fairy's partner (me) Alex had
told his Mom that he had decided to keep his second tooth rather than
surrendering it to the tooth fairy for a buck.  Dear old dad was not
informed and went into Alex's room, saw the tooth on his bedside table
and without considering the finer points of fairyhood - later covered in
Alex's letter - swapped tooth for coin.  All hell broke loose the next
morning and the following letter was left the next night:
    Dear Tooth Fairy,
    I want my tooth back.
    It was not under my pillow.
    You weren't supposed to take it.
    I am very mad at you.
    Alex.
The tooth was back the following morning so the tooth fairy don't come
around here no more.
If you see her tell her that when Sarah starts losing teeth in a couple
of years, she'll be welcome again.
Mitch
