Do you remember the song from Bedknobs and Broomsticks? The age of Disbelieving? I really like your explanation about the friend's parents helping out the tooth fairy because she didn't believe anymore. That is lovely. I don't regret or resent my parent's telling me about either Santa or TF. I don't remember the move towards non-believing in the toother fairy, but I do remember the finding out about Santa. My mother caught me looking in a cupboard. She was much more upset than I and I remember being shocked that she thought I still believed. I think we turn this upside down abit in our heads. Is this about our kids believing or us believing in their childhood? I think we're much more disappointed than they and that they're excited to become more grown up and mature about such things. Our job is to ensure that they've had a rich enough childhood full of play and wonder that they're ready for the decisions to come. I've always be very slow to make my kids grow up. They'll have at least 20 years of mortgages, 10 of student loans, 30 years of work. I think its a shame they only get about 7 years of pixies, fairy dust, spiderman and pokemon. I'd flip the mortgage for the pixies any day. Tim Best blog yet, Joe. Do you remember the song from Bedknobs and Broomsticks? The age of Disbelieving?

Yes, they shared the letters. I'm quite curious what their reaction will be when the truth comes out. Will they appreciate it or resent it? I don't know. Hopefully they will realize that I meant well. (I think they think it's their mother...) Those of you viewing this post in Explorer may have noticed that it's "broken"... check it out in Firefox until I figure out what the problem is... (Oh, and we're putting money aside for the therapy they will require for just having us as parents, let alone Tooth Fairy conspiracies...!) PS. Careful Dave, they're not only posting on this blog now, they're reading it...! On some level I’m sure they already know. Yes, they shared the letters.

Very, very cute. And devious. How much will this little letter cost your kids in therapy later in life after the trauma of learning all of the fairy tales are parent lies...? Ha! Sorry. Just messing with you. The purple spots and bigger feet were my favourite parts. I hope the girls were excited. Did they share the letters with you when they found them, or did they keep it a secret like their original letters to the Tooth Fairy? Ah Joe, flights of fantasy, eh? Very, very cute.
