I figured she could use the Barbie and I could use the cash.<br /><br />And Mr. Farklepants has now raised the bar on what to expect from husbands - you totally set everyone else's man up for that one! :)calicobebophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276066197431903215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-25270354750819987902010-02-13T09:06:18.151-08:002010-02-13T09:06:18.151-08:00The most romantic thing my husband does for me is ...The most romantic thing my husband does for me is vaccuum the floor.

Both of our birthdays are close to Valentine's Day so we just ignore 2/14.)<br /><br />(At our house, the Tooth Fairy leaves four quarters and a little ring or a Hot Wheel for the first couple of teeth, then four quarters for little teeth and eight quarters for the molar-type teeth. And I live in Southern California!)<br /><br />I was kind of hoping that this recession would rewrite the overconsumption problem.

The Tooth Fairy brings one Sacajaewa dollar per tooth. The Easter Bunny brings chocolate and we don't have rogue leprechauns leaving ANYTHING on St. Patrick's Day (a trend in this town).

We call our favorite sushi restaurant and order more sushi than we normally feel is reasonable. For take out. We reason thusly: we spend the extra $$ on more sushi rather than a tip, and we come home to a pre-cleaned house, curl up in something cozy, eat in perfect peace and quiet without having to wait for a table, and spend an evening actually talking or *ahem* whatever. Perfect.<br /><br />PS The toothfairy at our house leaves $2 for your very first lost tooth and $1 thereafter. In quarters. Her concession to amping up the ante was to let me make a special tiny box (match box covered in 'fancy' fabric) to hold said tooth and subsequent quarters. There must be a union or something that your TF and mine belong to.MommyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860003098383600806noreply@blogger.com
