I tell you, don't do it!

Guess what happened tonight, while Cullen is gone.
Josh lost another tooth.
Shoot me.
I have never done the toothfairy. Nor have I been her. HA. I will have to tonight. He's sleeping in a effed up position and his tooth is itty bitty and I have to crawl over CJ and I DON'T LIKE THIS. Cullen does this.

It's a stupid thing to do. It's like Santa. We lie, lie, LIE to them, and then we DEFEND THE LIE as they get older until we just can't anymore. OR, maybe we never openly tell them they are being LIED TO, it's just an assumed thing. And the general public is okay with this. I'm participating against my will. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS. If you want to give them money every time they lose a tooth, just tell them they get money when they lose teeth. There's no reason to make up some stupid ...I mean are you LISTENING? A FAIRY? Fantastic. Not only does an oversized elf with a belly like a bowlful of jelly find his way magically into our houses, even the ones without chimney's, but now we've got fairies flying around collecting teeth. So unnecessary. Is life so mundane that we need to make up total lies to our children?

I am SO telling them about Santa this summer. I'm putting an end to this bullshit right now. It's rude of us. Big fat liars. And what happens when our kids lie to US? They get in trouble, but we are allowed to tell them all sorts of shit. Because "this is different" ? Stupid. Sets them up for disappointment. Not one person doesn't feel a little bit jipped when they realize that their parents are Santa. Why not tell them the story of Santa/St. Nick/Whoever the hell you get presents from magically, and then suggest that you play the role of Santa for a family that can't afford a turkey for dinner? Or a family who cannot buy their kids any gifts? Or a person who can't afford a tree or any decorations? Why not do that? Why not that instead of insisting year after year that Tubby made it into the house, nibbled a cookie and left presents?

UGH.

DON'T DO IT! If I can stop one person from lying endlessly to their kids in the name of "fun"......
