This has worked out well--when I did forget I was able to say sorry,I'd forgotten to call the Fairy and I would that night. When my younger one lost a container holding her tooth for the second time, I told her I was NOT calling the Tooth Fairy at all. The previous time I had let her write a note of explanation, same as we'd done the time she'd swallowed a tooth. But not this time. She'd been told to put the container under her pillow and leave it there and she hadnt. So she got nothing. See, you're the "Selfish Mom".
