Letter number 9 is another hand written letter. A charming letter to the tooth fairy!
The writer writes at I didn’t have my glasses on.
Here is her explanation of the letter.
“It was one of the first letters I ever wrote and it was to the tooth fairy and very heartfelt. She left me a quarter under my pillow after reading this, and I did not get a spanking. In that way, it was my first paid writing gig and an understanding of the magical power of letters”.
Dear fairy,
today at school my tooth fell out inside
(cont) –
and it fell in the corner of my desk and i could not find it.
I am going to get a spanking.

My thoughts on a page. 
So cute!
Adorable! 🙂 I’m glad she didn’t get a spanking. 😉
me too, chatter )
That was adorable! In New Jersey the school staff will confiscate children’s teeth that come out during school.
so funny, jackie )
WHAT???? What about the tooth fairy?
i think the tooth fairy would win that battle, hands down.
If a child loses a tooth at school the staff are required to take the tooth from the child. It has to do with the concern over “bodily fluids” contaminating someone.
thanks, tric, i clearly remember writing this, worried about how it was all going to turn out. what a relief when it all ended well )
Oh it’s a beautiful letter, and I love your link to it being your first paid for piece of writing! Feel free to reply to the comments, others write about it.
Such a darling letter to the Tooth Fairy. 🙂

Reblogged this on I didn't have my glasses on…. and commented:
my first paid writing gig, and proof of the power of words. posted by my irish friend, tric.
I don’t even remember the letters that I wrote in my childhood years let alone having kept them lol cute 😀
thanks, andy. i’m happy i have a couple of them. i always have loved to write letters )
Me too, long before emails, so much more personal and real 🙂
That, my dear, is a treasure.
it really is, to me. )
You were a darn good self-editor even at age 7, Beth! This is a classic. Show your kinders now, and perhaps it will inspire them to similar writing greatness.
thanks, mark. so funny to look back at it and see what i was thinking. )
What a great window back into your childhood, Beth. Super find in your friend’s letter series.
it is indeed.and if you have a moment, take the time to read some of tric’s pages too, she’s quite a writer. a natural.
I will, Beth. On my list.
cool, i think you’ll really enjoy her irish perspective on things.
I like it 🙂

So cute and I love that it was your “first paid writing gig!” That was a brilliant way to put it. I have so much of my handwritten stuff, back when you could read my writing! I’m not showing up in the reader. In case I haven’t told you or anyone else, please go to http://lesliejochase.com and subscribe and comment and share with your friends. Your tooth fairy letter brings back memories of my 20-year old son writing to the tooth fairy and pleading with her to let him keep his teeth! It was so cute htt she’d leave him a quarter or 2 (inflation!) and the tooth. I keep finding bags of his teeth around the house! Great story! Thanks for sharing
so funny and thanks for reading, leslie ) i’ll head over to your site –
Thanks! I got lost when everything changed!
