Team Sublett is at an awkward stage in life. Sadie was the baby of the family for many years. For most of her childhood, Levi and Lilly have been in on the big secrets and surprises. Of course, I’m talking about the Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. It’s been fun to include those in the know in the games that we play. And even now that Sadie’s in the know, she still likes to play the game.
Unfortunately for her, the Tooth Fairy is somewhat forgetful, and seems to have a cash-flow problem of late! Sadie lost 2 teeth in the last week. She faithfully placed them under her pillow in hopes that the Tooth Fairy would possibly make one last run through the Sublett house. After the first night of the non-visit, she left a note for the “Tooht Fairy.” I explained that his (or her) absence might be a clerical error, due to the misspelling of his (or her) name.
Little did I know that there were other/greater forces at work in out house.
Sadie awoke to find a big bag of candy and this note under her pillow:
This is awesome! Sadie immediately recognized Josie’s handwriting and couldn’t wait to show Kim what the “Tooth Fairy/God” left for her.
We may address the theological issues of the letter at some point in the future, but for right now, I’m thrilled at the love of a sister that prompts creativity, even if it crosses the line into heresy! What can you say on behalf of a weird tooth fairy…and God?
I just re-read the letter, and I’m laughing again.

That tooth fairy is the most forgetful of all the special events visitors. Sometimes God has to cover.
