A mum has found out the hilarious way what happens when you leave your husband in charge of writing a letter from the tooth fairy.
The letter written by the girl’s stepfather has gone viral, no doubt thanks to his creative imagination use of puns.
Sharing a picture of the letter Twitter mother Kellie Dawson wrote: ‘This is what happens when you let your husband write the tooth fairy letter’
“Dear Scarlett,” the letter begins. “You couldn’t wait until I was back from my holidays? There I was, sitting on a beach in Bermuda sipping a very alcoholic (but not too sugary) drink, when I get a text from one of my gumshoes telling me one of your pearly whites has escaped!!
“Bleeding marvelous!”
He continues by explaining the lengths he had to go to collect the tooth (boat, then a taxis, then a plane, followed by another taxi, a train, a replacement bus service, an uber, a unicycle and a tractor) in exchange for a “measly two quid!”
"Normally I make good money on teeth (unless I get done for incisor trading!), but this time I am seriously out of pocket," he wrote.
The reaction on social media has been in favour of the awesome dad.
"This is oddly the sweetest thing I've ever seen," wrote one commenter.
Another said: “He sounds like an amazing guy.”
In reply, Dawson wrote: “BEST stepfather ever. She’s over the moon.”
Read the full letter below.
Dear Scarlett,
You couldn’t wait until I was back from my holidays? there I was, sitting on a beach in Bermuda sipping a very alcoholic (but not too sugary) drink, when I get a text from one of my gumshoes telling me one of your pearly whites has escaped!!
Bleeding marvelous!
(See what I did there?)
So then I’m on a boat, then a taxis, then a plane, followed by another taxi, a train, a replacement bus service, an uber, a unicycle and a tractor (don’t ask) — all to give you a measly two quid! Normally I make good money on teeth (unless I get done for incisor trading!), but this time I am seriously out of pocket.
Plus, I missed the beach barbecue and there was a cute leprechaun I had my eye on!
Ah well.
So, here you go! Here’s your cash. Spend it wisely!! No sweets or sugary drinks. I’m heading back to Bermuda and I have to be quick as my tractor leaves in five minutes.
If your other tooth comes out over half term do me a favor and glue it back for a bit! Let me have the rest of my holiday! This is a stressful job — some days it’s like pulling teeth! — And I need a break.
All the best, blah blah
TF
