I Hate Springing Forward

I understand why we have Daylight Savings Time (the sun was shinning by 4 AM in the summer in Beijing) but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
 
You know who else hates springing forward?
The Tooth Fairy.
 
One minute JR was eating a fruit roll up at the rodeo (it was a free giveaway) and the next,
 one of his "big mol-dars" as he keeps calling them, was gone.
 
He's been known to swallow teeth before, so I don't know if he swallowed it or it went flying into the rodeo crowds, but the tooth was gone.
 
 
JR announced yesterday morning that the Tooth Fairy had left him nothing for his "big mol-dar". Well, since he hadn't left anything under his pillow, I quickly explained she must not leave money for nothing.
 
 
I also have to believe the poor Tooth Fairy that covers Texas was probably at Selena Gomez. That coupled with Daylight Savings Time, must be why she totally forgot. Bless her heart.
 
 
A replacement tooth was made and placed under the pillow last night, and the Tooth Fairy left $5. Maybe I'll run into her at the rodeo tonight and can thank her.
