The World of the Tooth Fairies: Does the Tooth Fairy Sleep?

Welcome back! My last blog was in German. I shared interesting facts about the Tooth Fairy’s Daily Routine with my German readers. It included exclusive information about: How does the Tooth Fairy collect the teeth?; How does she travel?; The identity of her secret helpers, and much more…

Today ends my new series: The World of the Tooth Fairies. To read the other blogs, click on the name of the month: July, August, Sept, and October. Mom and I had a lot of fun researching and writing the blogs. Yes, Mom and I always brainstorm together. Wow, I sound like a professional author!!!! My parents said, I am! (wink) 

This blog is different from the others. The Tooth Fairy will share with us exclusive information about their peculiarities. Another big word!!!! Do you know what “peculiarities” mean? It refers to someone or something unusual, strange, or odd. 

Does the Tooth Fairy sleep?

Yes, we do. But not like you do. We take “Fairy Naps” during the day. They are short and energizing. Then at night, we are ready to collect the teeth from children around the world and deliver our gifts. On our way back home, we sometimes take a longer nap. (wink) 

Does the Tooth Fairy need to go to the toilet? 

Interesting question. No, we don’t. Remember, Tooth Fairies are kind, supernatural creatures with human form and magical powers. Joey wrote a blog about me; you can read it by clicking here.

Does the Tooth Fairy have hobbies? 

Yes, we do. Some Tooth Fairies have fun making instruments from the collected teeth. Others like dancing, writing, drawing, swimming, carving, and so on. We are all very talented! (smile) I enjoy cooking healthy treats for children. Joey tasted my ”Rainbow Bonbons.” The bonbons are made with organic ingredients and no added sugar! 

Joey: “They were delicious and tasted like all my favorite fruits. Sorry for the interruption, Tooth Fairy. I got a watery mouth just thinking about them. Did you bring me some?” Tooth Fairy: “Yes, I did. I gave it to your mom.” Joey: Hurray, hurray”

What languages do the Tooth Fairies speak?

Excellent question! We speak all the languages of the world and our secret Tooth Fairy language. We use sounds and intonations similar to birds chirping, dolphins, whistling, or the sound of the coral reef.  The coral reef sounds like popping popcorn or frying bacon. (ha,ha,ha) 

How do Tooth Fairies communicate? 

It depends on where we live. Tooth Fairies who, like me, live in outer space use stars to send and receive messages. Those living in cold places use “Frostflakes.” The ones living in hot countries use the wind. Those living in a jungle use sound technology. Luckily, animals can’t talk. They understand our messages. My favorite form of communication is using fluorescent animals. Why? Because their dancing is special. No, we don’t use glass balls or magic. It is ancient communication unknown to humans. 

Does the Tooth Fairy get sick?

No. Except long time ago… At least this is the only incident recorded in our history.  A planet exploded in another galaxy, and dust travelled superfast across space. Many Tooth Faires got sick and vanished in space. I was busy making my “Rainbow Bonbons.” Suddenly I heard a big “BANG.” One of the glass walls in my castle shattered. A heavy and hot dust was everywhere in my castle. It looked like a sandstorm or haze. I couldn’t see. Vitric, my frog, reached the Garden of Treasures and found me lying on the floor. He created a “Rescue Bubble” around me and got me out. I was unconscious for several days. Since then, I have been unable to move my legs. To move around the castle, I used one of my floating seats. I went to my Workshop and built my extraordinary “amapraconvelous flying wheelchair.”  "Ama-pra-con-velous” stands for amazing, practical, convenient, and marvelous.

Do you have a Leader?

We have the 24 Elders.  They represent ALL the Tooth Fairy Kingdoms in the world. We meet twice per year in different locations. During our Tooth Fairy Gatherings, we talk about our problems, vote on new rules, and ways to improve our work, etc. 

Are they male Tooth Fairies?

Yes, we have male Tooth Fairies. They have different functions. The most important ones are the Bodyguards. They are strong and well-trained. The Tooth Fairy Bodyguards travel with us and keep us safe while picking up teeth from a dangerous zone. What is a dangerous zone? A strong storm, a volcanic eruption, earthquakes, etc. Sometimes a child loses a tooth on such days. We don’t want the children to be sad. No matter what, we will pick up the tooth and deliver our gift! You can count on us. (thumbs up) 

What do you do if a child surprises you while you are swapping the tooth for a gift?

Great question. The Tooth Fairy worked unnoticed for many years until one day in 1894. The young King Alfonso XIII was eight years old and had just lost a tooth. He was a late teether like Joey. Queen Maria Christina contacted the famous author, Luis Coloma-Roldán (1851–1915), and asked him to write a story for the King. Mr. Coloma talked with the King. He told Mr. Coloma that the night before he saw a mouse wearing a red jacket and glasses. The King couldn’t believe his eyes. He got up and stared at the mouse. The mouse introduced himself as Raton Pérez. They talked a little. Then Ratón Pérez read to him, “Joey Meets the Tooth Fairy.” Once the King fell asleep, he swapped the tooth for a bag of the King’s favorite treats.  Mr. Coloma remembered seeing the same mouse leaving the Palace carrying a golden tooth. He followed the mouse quietly and saw him entering the basement of the Prast confectionery store in Madrid. Mr. Coloma wrote a series about Ratón Pérez and the King. 

“Thank you, Tooth Fairy, for sharing these interesting facts with my readers.”

“You are more than welcome, Joey.”

Before I forget, my parents and I want to wish y’all a blessed and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 

My next blog will be in German. 

Remember to brush your teeth and keep them clean for the Tooth Fairy.
