This post was intended to get back at my brother-n-law who texts me every month with this message (to supposedly "steal" ones luck for the next month if you are the first to say it on the first day the month). Being an ER doc, he is often on duty during the wee-hours of the new month (when I am usually sleeping) and is able to get me before I can get him. However, just over 2 weeks ago he, his wife and 1.5 kids moved to Africa ....
I figured that being the first to do it in January would give me all his luck for the new year!
Apparently, someone beat me to getting him, because I just got word that he has Malaria!
Now, I feel a little guilty ... and slightly worried that because I attempted to get him when he was "suffering" the Rabbit Rabbit is going to back-fire on me and he will end up with all my luck for the new year after all.
I just can't win ... but at least I don't have malaria!

The Tooth Fairy is Not the One that is Sick!
Apparently, Seth decided to catch up to Toby's money haul in one fell swoop....
The SECRET note (this is of course private and none of us have any knowledge of it) was a "request" for, and I quote; "I wont for my tooth 100 one dollar bils".
The Tooth Fairy's nice apology for missing last night was removed by the Tooth Fairy's Boss and replaced by a less nice explanation that it is the Tooth Fairy's job to take lost teeth and that any money left in its place was a token GIFT, therefore not subject to negotiation.

The Tooth Fairy is Sick
So, Seth FINALLY nursed his first loose tooth (bottom left center) out yesterday, much to his surprise I think. I believe he has been anxiously awaiting the day that the Tooth Fairy would finally visit him.
... For clarity, it is important to know that Toby "lost" his first tooth while visiting PopPop and GiGi who pointed out that the Tooth Fairy pays extra when you are with grandparents. He then managed to "lose" his next tooth while they were visiting as well. Long story short, some people make their fortune selling their blood; he has gotten rich "losing" teeth.
Apparently Seth has witnessed Toby's prosperity enough for it to be fact that lost teeth and riches go hand in ... mouth, because there was no fanfare about what to do. However, there was a moment of great wailing and gnashing of teeth when I caught him quickly stuffing something under his pillow -- assuming it was some sort of contraband to be played with after he was supposed to be asleep. After he got his mother involved, it was discovered that in fact it was just a SECRET note to the Tooth Fairy that we were not allowed to see. Disaster (momentarily) averted.
All seemed well until this morning when it was discovered that after all that trouble the Stupid Tooth Fairy did not show up!
I'm pretty sure the Tooth Fairy is leaving an apology tonight for being sick and unable to fulfill its duties previously ... along with some extra cash Apparently, grandparents aren't the only way to make more off of lost teeth!
