The Tooth Fairy

In 1997 Lori was out of town on a business trip when Ryan lost a tooth. Ryan left his tooth under his pillow, as was the family custom, but his daddy forgot to do Tooth Fairy duties and found a very disappointed Ryan the next morning. The Tooth Fairy (with a good bit of help from Jeff) left the following note the next night and all was well again in the McCarthy household.

RE: REPLACEMENT TOOTH CREDIT

Dear Mr. McCarthy,

This letter is to apologize for missing you on the Tooth Fairy Patrol on the night of August 6, 1997. Due to an unexpectedly high number of little boys and girls who lost their teeth, the Tooth Fairy was way behind schedule and could not get to everyone.

We hope that this delay did not cause you any problems. Because we know that you were a very good boy, and did not get mad or have a tantrum, the Tooth Fairy has given you an extra bonus award.

We are sorry, and will try harder next time to make sure that all good boys, like you, are taken care of.

Sincerely,

Tooth Fairy
