Free, for every grown-up who has ever woken at six with a sinking feeling

The night the tooth fairy forgot

The tooth is still under the pillow. Breakfast is in twenty minutes. Nobody needs to panic. Tell us who it is for and where to send it, choose the fairy's excuse, and you will have a printable note from the Fairy Post Office explaining, kindly and with a straight face, why nobody came last night and promising that someone will tonight.

The fairy's excuse

Your tooth came in on the night tide. The Sorting Room does not open until the first firefly wakes up, and the firefly slept in. The birds were late coming north this year, and for long journeys we ride in their feathers. Your letter came by swallow. The swallow was not told it was a letter and thought it was a hat. The ink is made from blackberries, and the blackberries were not ready. You cannot hurry a blackberry. I tried. The post fairy stopped to turn over a beetle that was stuck on its back. It took longer than you would think. The beetle is fine. The Council met about your tooth. They do not meet about every tooth. Old Mossbeard asked for a second reading and then fell asleep by the fire, and the rule is that nobody wakes Mossbeard.

The fairies may write to me now and then (new seasons, Christmas order-by dates). No more than once a month.

We use your email to send the note and, only if you ticked the box, the occasional letter. Privacy.
