Worst mother ever!

Little David had NOT turned in his first lost tooth to the Tooth Fairy last night and I about threw it down the kitchen sink this morning!! I had forgotten that he kept his tooth in his lunch pail (the tooth came out during lunch at school yesterday) and this morning I cleaned it out ... shaking off the crumbs into the sinkful of dishes. Later I realized that his tooth was there and I gasped! Panic strickened I searched through the dishes and used a strainer to dump out the water collected from the bowls. No luck, just plenty of mozzarella cheese and such. Turning pale, nauseous, and feeling like the worst mother ever by the second, Dave asked if I had found it. When I hadn't, he pulled up his sleeves and bare handed he stuck his hand into the disposal in a disgusting search for the tooth. Meanwhile, I was hanging by thin ice with racing thoughts of what I'm going to do without a tooth for the Tooth Fairy. Is there a tooth on Ebay, Craigslist, etc. that I can purchase and receive within 6hrs (when David returns from school)? Should I pretty-package an empty box saying that his tooth was in there? Can I make-shift a tooth? I don't know!! I was going crazy!! So back to Dave, when no luck was found in the disposal he went back to my strainer. My savior!! It was there after all! He roared with laughter when I told him that I must have thought it was a piece of mozzarella cheese!! Whew!!! That certainly jump started my day!! My heart is still pounding!!
