Corbin's tooth number three effortlessly falls out while eating dinner.
The next morning Corbin came into my room talking about a Wall-e video game. He went on and on for about ten minutes before remembering his tooth. "I'm going to go see if the tooth fairy came!" He said with delight.
He came back to my room holding a baggie that still contained his tooth. He was confused and I felt awful. It had rained all night long and so I figured out that the tooth fairy must not be able to fly in the rain. It was the only explanation. I mean, its not like the tooth fairy is ridiculously pregnant and occasionally forgets things, especially at night when she's super tired. I told Corbin about not being able to fly in rain, and he was satisfied with the explanation. (phew!)
We put the tooth back under his pillow, and hoped that it wouldn't rain the next night. It didn't and the tooth fairy didn't disappoint us again. Although, if it wasn't for the tooth fairy's husband, who actually made the switch between money and tooth, she surely would have been fired. So thanks for your help, Mr. Tooth Fairy. You're a life saver.
ps...speaking of losing teeth. Do people lose teeth in the same order that they got them? I didn't keep track when Corbin was getting teeth to know if they are for sure coming out in the same order, but I think they are so far. Does anyone know?

I love this story. It just made me laugh out loud, so I had to read it to my coworkers because they were worried I was just laughing to myself because I'm a little crazy sometimes.
The toothfairy is very lazy, forgetful and absentminded at our house. I usually do a lame cover up the next morning with a "let me look for the money....I bet it just fell behind the bed or got lost in the covers" and then I slip it in there. Pathetic, huh? But it has worked multiple times!!
As for the tooth loss order. I think I may have heard that it is related...but I don't know about an exact match.
