A steady stream of terror flowed in through all the doors and windows of our tiny house.
How could the tooth fairy
NOT have come?
My smart, quick thinking wife retorted, “It’s still night-night time.”
Problem solved, almost.
It was already ten-till-seven and chances are any sleep he caught would be brief and light.
Not to fear, even as we speak, my son is quickly assembling the Bionicle that timely little fairy awarded him for loosing his first molar.

That's how my two eldest children discovered the truth about the Tooth Fairy. I kept forgetting! I'm horrible. I would go in (with money hidden in hand)and say, "Are you sure it didn't fall on the ground? Oh! Here it is!" and then hand them the money.
Of course, my second-born began to look for it on the ground before she came to me and then when I would amazingly discover money where she'd already looked, she figured it out.
Now those two help me remember with the youngest. Thank goodness. It's too much pressure! :)

I am ashamed to say how many times the tooth fairy has been MIA at our house.
I've used the ole' money in hand trick, too.
