Does the Tooth Fairy dig through garbage?!

Here's the story: Rodney lost his second little tooth last week and was so excited! The first one was more exciting but he is still new to this so the excitement still runs high! He actually pulled out his tooth, it didn't involve me at all, it was quite suprising. So, he liked this little tooth so much he wanted to keep it. I said that would be fine, he could give it to the tooth fairy whenever he wanted. So we got a little snack baggie and it was put safely on his shelf. Well a few days ago he was playing with it, and probably deciding when it was worth it to give it up for a dollar! The next thing I know is that little tooth is lost! I had been cleaning and was not watching out for the snack baggie with the nearly invisilbe little tooth in it! Since I didn't know the tooth was missing I wasn't checking garbage before I threw it away and had no idea if it was in the garbage or not. Rodney searched all over the house and I promised him we would go dig through the garbage soon--this all happened right before it was time to go to school of course! So we had to get out the door, that's when anything will get promised just to get the kids to school on time! It was garbage day so I promised not to put the garbage out until we had checked the garbage inside it. So a few days go by and I mention to several people around here that they should go help Rodney find his tooth and hoping that someone else would dig through the stinky garbage! No such luck! Tonight after the kids went to bed I gave in and decided to dig through the garbage, garbage day is on monday again and we can't wait through another one! Unfortunately this story has a sad ending because even though I looked through every piece of slimy garbage and checked lots of used snack baggies I did not find the precious little tooth! So now the next stage is to let Rodney know it's up to him to find it in the house! The things the tooth fairy does for the sweet little children! :)
