This is almost too touching to be funny. It is so like a child to want to help and thinking the tooth fairy might give him something for a contribution. I hope those teeth were loose before he took them out. LOL

Comment from Soulester
Ouch! Tommy really wanted to help, didn't he? Poor baby. Glad to see this is fiction. It really is amazing what kids will come up with, isn't it? Everybody knows the tooth fairy has lots of money and will never let you down. LOL Cute idea--good luck in the contest! Mary

Comment from Nicnac
Aw - sweet!
Little Tommy doesn't realize his Mom gives the tooth fairy the money. hee hee
I enjoyed your short story, Carol. It has a nostalgic feel of the innocence of children and their hopefulness to make all things right.
An enjoyable read. :)

Thanks so much for the kind review and for enjoying the story. Our city has one of the highest unemployment rates right now..including me and my honey as one of the statistics...Needed to find a bit of a silver lining I guess...Smiles to you..
Comment from Jnetgame
Cute story. I think this is both well written and original. I'm glad the boy found a way to help (or at least he thought he did). Good luck in the contest.

I find it almost impossible to critique these 100 word stories. Instead all I can do is indicate how much I thought of it.
A nice story indeed.

Comment from Perp Ihebom
This is a good short piece with a light-hearted tone around it. It paints a picture of poverty that has afflicted a family. A bit of humor is added in the last paragraph. Good luck

Comment from cheyennewy
Hi writer,
I know this is supposed to be humorous but I find it quite sad. I guess the humor is in the prayer that Tommy said, asking the tooth fairy for help. That is very original and sweet. Good luck in the contest....chey

Chey,
Our city is one of the highest in unemployment. Unfortunately my honey and I are part of those statistics. I guess I was looking for some kind of silver lining ...smiles to you...
Comment from Penpal
This is precious, and not only does it have humor, but it's laced with real life circumstances that pull at the reader's heart. The ending also gives a twist and is ironic that poor Tommy wants to help, but we all know who the tooth fairy really is. Well done

Comment from Agrona
I think I'm missing the humor here. It's a rather sad and heartfelt story. Is it supposed to be funny that mom IS the tooth fairy? Not sure, but I didn't laugh, I'm sorry.
It's a very cute story, I just think it doesn't quite fit into the humor category. ;)
