Last night, all sneaky like, I went tip-toeing into The Boy's bedroom around 12:15am. I was so proud when I stepped on a wrestler guy, and I was able to keep my swear words mostly in my head. I wisely chose to use a shuffle technique after that, which worked really well until I got myself tangled in a video game cord, then stepped back hard onto some unidentified squishy thing and almost screamed because it felt like a dead platypus. I recovered from my shock and gave myself a little pat on the back while cursing the boy's housekeeping skills and promising that I would ground him into plain, Amish existence if he didn't get this bedroom under control immediately.
Then, money in hand, I made my way over to the bed and found this note to the Tooth Fairy...
...that's when I burst out laughing and woke the sleeping boy.

rotflmao that is hilarious, I busted out laughing as I was watching ya dance on the floor. Priceless you son was ready for you!
OMG... and you think Ryan is funny? Their children will be comedians... they'll have their own TV show... be in movies! We'll be rich old grandmas, I'm tellin' ya!
PS... what was the squishy thing? I really hope it wasn't a platypus (though they really are a crime against nature, I still wouldn't want to squish one)
Don't get your hopes up... even grounding them into Amish-like existence does NOT guarantee better housekeeping skills.
Cause that is EXACTLY what my 14yo terminally-grounded son's room looks like, minus the wrestlers. Instead I step on disassembled electronics, which hurt more than Legos.
That room looks so familiar! Oh yeah, I had 3 just like it when my sons were at home!
That letter needs to be framed. Classic!
Hah! He's on to you!
HAHA! I wonder where he gets that?? You gotta give him snaps for highlighting the reactions to each, thereby increasing the $20 earning potential.
That boy is BRILLIANT.
However, based upon the picture of his room, I am (a) surprised you FOUND the note; and (b) thinking you might have to burn the house down and move - because that is never going to be fixed!!!
Hilarious.
Santa/Dad once was sneaking into the room I shared with my brother to leave Christmas stockings. He managed to knock the power button on my printer, which did the usual 45 seconds of groaning. Woke me and my brother up, and we could see my Dad in this hilarious panic.
I'm thinking that with the next tooth you'll find a card swipe reader under his pillow.
next time you should just leave a blank check ;)
Up and coming entrepreneur I think....
He sounds lovely and grateful too!
Too priceless!
I think you have a business prodigy on your hands. The problem at my house is that the Tooth Fairy always falls asleep and forgets to visit. :(
I'd say he's tough to please but he made it very clear what was expected of tooth fairy/mom/ATM. At least there was no guessing!
That is priceless! I mean worth every penny! It really is all about the money.
Now THAT is one funny dude. Just set up an automatic teller in his room, if you can find the space...sounds like my son's room. Treacherous.
Oh that's awesome! I hope he got his 5 to 20 bucks!! hahaha
That is so frickin' funny!
That is such a sweet story, Bloggus!
This generation is such a difficult one to read - With so many different needs than our own...
Such a conplicated situation, and one in which information and support should assist! xox
I'm thinking how cool of him to give you a range of cash to leave -- you know somewhere between 5 and 20 will work! ;-) What a HOOT!
How much did you leave him? What does it take to make your boy RICH?
He's a cutie patootie!
At least he said please. And how cute is that? "Almost rich." I'd settle for almost rich too!
Lol...what a smartie pants! I would have wrote him a note and left it on his door from the Tooth Fairy saying "So sorry I couldn't get to your pillow tonight because your room was hit by a tornado...will try again tomorrow."
Oh now that is funny!
BEST.LETTER.EVER!
That is a classic! I laughed so loud my kids came running to see what happened!
ROFL!
