Alison asked Red and I not to pretend to be the tooth fairy because she wanted to know if there really was one. I wasn't sure what to do, but Red was brilliant.
Ali asked him point blank if there was a tooth fairy. He said, "do you really want to know?" and she said "yes". So he told her there wasn't one. Ali said, "I thought so."
A few days later, her tooth fell out, but she lost it on the school bus home from camp. Red told her, "well, you'll have to write a note to the tooth fairy to tell her to look for your tooth on the bus." Ali said, "But the tooth fairy doesn't exist, Daddy." Red said, "OK, but if you want a prize you at least have to pretend."
(She never did write a note, but she still got a prize)
