Parents think of new way to convince their son to do his chores… by getting the TOOTH FAIRY to hassle him
The little lad woke up to a complete chore list... and was apparently unamused
TWO jokey parents have thought of a novel way of making their son do his household chores… by getting the TOOTH FAIRY to ask him.
The dad, who goes by Philly Bits on Imagur, and his wife were discussing payment for their son Elliot’s most recently lost tooth via text – when they hatched the plan.
Philly Bits then edited the hilarious letter, in which the Tooth Fairy threatened to steal all of Elliot's teeth, to make it ‘look professional’, with a colour border and mast head.
It reads: “Dear Elliot,
“Thank you for the return of your fourth molar. Here is your payment upon receipts, the agreed-upon sum of £3.80 (five American dollars).
“By leaving your tooth out for one of our Tooth Adjusters, you, the toothee, have entered into a contractual obligation to perform measured work, herein known as chores.
“Please see the attached addendum for an updated list of these chores.
“We have been notified by your Parental Units that these obligations have frequently gone uncompleted, and often have to be requested multiple times before they are, in fact, done.
“If these obligations are not fully completed, without demand, in the specified time frame (every day after school or camp), we will have no recourse but to repossess all of your remaining teeth, by force if necessary, with no repayment to you.
“The most comfortable solution for all three parties involved (Tooth Adjusters, Toothee, and Parental Units) is for you, the toothee, to do your chores as expected, on time, every day.
“Do not make us come and take your teeth.
“Warm regards,
“The Offices of Tooth and Fairy, LLC – Tooth Adjusters”.

Posting the exchange on Imagur, Philly Bits said: “He didn’t find it very funny, though. (We did, though.)”
The original text exchange:
- Mum: Did you ever give El anything for his tooth?
- Dad: No I forgot.
- Mum: Should I put something on his table? Where is his tooth?
- Dad: I told him to put it on his desk. I was out til midnight or so.
- Mum: Ok so what like £3.80? I have £5.30 in ones and a £15 ($20 note)… and he’s not getting £15.
- Dad: Sure. And maybe a chore list with a note if he doesn’t shape up, the TF (tooth fairy) is gonna just take his teeth straight out of his mouth while he sleeps.
- Mum: Are you serious because you know I will?
- Dad: Lol. Do something like a professional letterhead. Give it a colour border, make it fancy etc.
