The cutest (and funniest) letter to the Tooth Fairy.
At age 9, little Jennifer may have been losing her teeth on a regular basis, but she turned out to be anything but toothless in an angry letter she once wrote to the Tooth Fairy.
See, Jennifer (who is now full-grown and posted the letter she wrote long-ago on Imgur this week, where it’s gone viral) was actually a detective in the making. She’d reached an age where she was pretty positive the Tooth Fairy wasn’t real, so to test the theory after losing a tooth, she didn’t tell anyone, and waited for the magic to happen.
"When I woke the next morning, and nothing was there, I was bummed, but gave her the benefit of the doubt," Jenny Rist told TODAY.com. "Maybe I lost it too late in the day? ... So, I gave it another night. The following morning, when nothing was there, I was pissed."
Her anger led to this letter — which even years later steams with innocence lost:
She got a letter back, despite her P.P.S., which read: "I couldn't get to you because your room was such a mess. Maybe if you want me to get to you in a timely manner, you'll clean your room."
That is one demanding Tooth Fairy.
"After that letter, it was kind of a silent acknowledgement that mum was the Tooth Fairy," Rist said.
The letter had been kept all these years by Rist's dad, who like any proud parent has a treasure trove of his children's greatest hits. She said she and her father were laughing about how snarky and spunky she was as a kid, and he pulled the letter out of a notebook. "It was better than I remembered," she said.
