Title: Tooth Fairy on Strike?
Post by: Snoopy on August 29, 2008, 08:08:00 AM
Yesterday Snoopy Minor lost a tooth.
As you all know I don't watch much TV and last night was no exception. I explained to Mrs Snoopy#2 that I was off to bed at 8.30 with a good book and reminded her that Minor needed a visit from the Tooth Fairy. I did not have a £1 coin but she assured me that she did and would ensure that the Tooth Fairy got it.
By the time she had finished watching whatever crap she found interesting on TV I was sound asleep, as were all the children. So she came to bed and forgot to remind the Tooth Fairy of her duties.
One very upset little boy this morning  Banghead





And somehow it is my fault. She must be taking lessons from Mrs Nick cussing:

Give him a fiver and say the tooth fairy apologised for not having any change.

Tears will instantly evaporate.

We knew a mother once who, having no change, slipped a cheque for £1 under her daughter's pillow.


Well that's another child who has no illusions about life  noooo:

He is happy ~ the TF called whilst we were all out yesterday afternoon ;), he is now £1 nearer to his bicycle and furiously wobbling another loose tooth. Yes we all know that he doesn't have enough teeth for a bike but I am sure some minor chores will ensure the balance is made up by some kind soul  whistle:

Nick isn't exactly small himself. 6'2" and around 16 to 17 stone I would guess. He might be considered small in the All Blacks Rugby team but to me and I am 6' and 20 stone he looks pretty big.

All very odd.Bit of a psycho I fear  scared2:

Three days in a row some girl turned up to call for The Boy.  She is 9.

Day 1 we gave her tea and asked where she lived and did her parents know where she was. She claimed they did.

Day 2 she went off with the Boy, allegedly to a friend's house, but when we phoned to check they had not gone there.It turned out they had gone to a bike park about 2 miles away in a rough area with 2 other kids.Various irate mothers went and fetched all of the m back.Kids got yelled at.

Last nght she turned up again at almost 9. ALone, and asking if the Boy could play. I extracted her father's phone number (whereabouts of mother unknown) and called him to let him know where she was, who we were, our address and phone number. This seemed reasonable.

He went bonkers on the phone, claiming we were interfering with his family arrangements, were planning to report him to Social Services and telling us to mind our own business   eeek:

I asked if he wanted to collect his small daughter. "Send her back," he yelled.

He has been on the phone this morning having another rant and saying he is going to "sort me out" scared2:

Tricky one.

Might be worth a word with the constabulary, more because the girl may be in a bad situation rather than you are being threatened.

Phone your local policeman/woman. They need to know about this before the girl turns up dead/missing/whatever is worse. Meanwhile extract further and better particulars from The Boy.

This just gets odder. Father is divorced and has been given custody. Shares his house with a "lodger"who is an ex-policeman and part time taxi driver. His "lodger" turns up "to smooth things out" and starts telling us that the three of them (Dad, Lodger and daughter) are emigrating to NZ "but daughter doesn't know it yet." I am starting to think we have disturbed a nest of nutters.

He made a point of enquiring (twice) if we were "local" in that special sense they use round here which involves cousin marrying and having a selection of twitches.

Maybe the Father, "Uncle" and Child are saying "starting to think we have disturbed a nest of nutters"

BUT!!!!!! Joking apart

This is all too odd. You know enough Social Workers to know that the Father cannot just emigrate, taking the child,  to NZ without consent from the courts. Ex Policemen do not become ex policemen without very good reason. Sounds to me as if you are getting have got into something that you really ought to talk to the authorities about. How do you know this child is even his daughter? Because his "Ex-policeman boyfriend told me so" will look bloody silly in court. The child is 9 and wandering about the village, going into strangers houses and when one of those "strangers" asks perfectly reasonable questions the "father" flies off the handle and then just happens to have a "friend" with whom he is planning to emigrate and the said "friend" tries to head you off with stories about "I am an ex-policeman and it is all above board" ~ frankly Nick I say that is a load of bollocks and needs someone other than you to sort it out. Your duty is to the child. If there really is nothing untoward then no harm done but I wouldn't want it on my conscience that I had done nothing if/when the sh*t hits the fan.

I am coming around to that way of thinking. I havenever met these people, apart from the "lodger" and have little knowledge of what is goinog on other than what I have seen and been told. A discreet phone call may be in order.

Trouble is that this guy (I am reliably informed)  is big, violent and paranoid and lives near me. As soon as anyone shows up sniffing about he is going to put 2 and 2 together.

I shall ponder further during today.
