2. Help your child reassemble the words to Ariafee’s song, and then sing the song together to the tune

My tooth, my tooth, out you fell. You’re so happy, I can tell. In the Tooth Bag you will go. ToothLoot’s under the pillow.
My tooth, my tooth now you’ll be with the Singing Tooth Fairy.
Next Time Your Child Loses a Tooth
Continue this adventure with Ariafee the next time your child loses a tooth with the second letter in her
series, “Ariafee Sings in Code.” In this two-night letter, Ariafee writes a new song to commemorate the
loss of your child's tooth, but the lyrics are in code and need to be deciphered by your child.

Dear
Do you ever feel like breaking out into song? Like you just
can’t keep yourself quiet? Your feet start tapping. Your head
starts bobbing. Your body starts swaying. And before you
know it, you’ve grabbed your toothbrush, opened your mouth
… and snored?
That hasn’t happened to you? Are you sure?
Hmmm, I may have a problem then.
You see, I’m a tooth fairy at The Tooth Fairy Company. (By
the way, it’s very nice to meet you!) Being a tooth fairy is a
great job. I work with a terrific bunch of tooth fairies, like
Bumblefee, Mischiefee, Smigglesfert and Flitterfee. I travel all
around the world every night to visit many wonderful children,
like you! And I get to give away lots of ToothLoot (that’s the
money we tooth fairies give you for your happy teeth.)

But as great as it is being a tooth fairy, no one ever gets to
hear me sing. And I just love to sing. And dance. And act.
And anything else that puts me on stage in front of hundreds
of cheering fans.
Sadly, I don’t even have one fan. Because even though I’ve
visited hundreds of children - and you are the 546th – not
one has heard me sing. And if children can’t hear me sing,
they can’t be my fans. And if I don’t have any fans, I’ll never
be a famous tooth fairy singer. And that’s what I’ve always
wanted to be – Ariafee, the Singing Tooth Fairy.
Well, tonight at your house, it was time to do something about
this. So after I put your happy tooth in my Tooth Bag, filled
out the receipt for your tooth, and left the ToothLoot under
your pillow, I decided to do one more thing – sing you a song. I
wanted you to be the first child to ever see and hear me sing.
I wanted you to be my first fan!

I proudly took my position on stage (well, actually, the end of
your bed), picked up my microphone (okay, your toothbrush),
closed my eyes, took a deep breath, opened my mouth, and
with all the emotion and feeling I could muster, started to belt
out my song to you.
"ZZZ-Zzzz-ZZzzz-hnnngggGGGGggh-Ppbhwwww-zZZzzzzZ..."
That definitely did not sound right. I tried again.
"ZZZ-Zzzz-ZZzzz-hhhhngGGggh-Ppbhwwwwww- zZZzzZZ…"
Clearly, something was wrong. I tried a high voice. I tried a
low voice. I sang loudly. I sang softly. I made the song go
faster. I made the song go slower. But no matter what I did, I
still snuffled and snorted.
I’ve got to say, this is just terrible. I want to be Ariafee, the
Singing Tooth Fairy, not Ariafee, the Snoring Tooth Fairy!

I must go see Dr. Say-ahh-fee right away. I hope he can
explain why my voice sounds like I’m in the middle of a long
and deep nap.
I’ll be back tomorrow to let you know what he said.
xoxo
Ariafee, T.F.

Dear
Well, I have good news and bad news. Let me start with the
bad news.
Dr. Say-ahh-fee told me I have a condition called “Zleepy
Zound Zyndrome,” also known as ZZZ. Apparently, this is quite
a common condition for tooth fairies. Those of us afflicted with
Zleepy Zound Zyndrome make snoring sounds every time we
try to talk or sing to a child.
Dr. Say-ahh-fee explained that this condition actually protects
us tooth fairies. You see, if a child ever sees a tooth fairy,
that fairy can no longer be a tooth fairy. It’s quite serious, and
that’s why we receive so much training in how to be quiet in a
child’s room.
Sometimes, however, we just can’t stay quiet. Take me, for
example. I just HAD to sing to you. But if you’d woken up and
seen me, that would’ve been the end of my tooth fairy career.

I’d never be the Singing Tooth Fairy then. With Zleepy Zound
Zyndrome, though, my snoring sounds kept you snoozing away.
So, that’s the bad news.
The good news is that Dr. Say-ahh-fee gave me a pill to take.
It won’t cure me of Zleepy Zound Zyndrome, but it makes me
feel a lot better. You know why? Because now if I sing to you,
you can see the words to my song! Did you notice them
scattered all over your room? Yep, they just fell out of my
mouth onto the floor. Isn’t that cool?
If you put these words in order and sing them to the tune of
“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” you can hear the song I sang to
you. I hope you’ll think of me every time you sing this. If you
do, then you really will be my fan!
xoxo

P.S. I really enjoyed visiting you and picking up your tooth. I
hope to see you again when your next tooth falls out. But if
I’m not scheduled to work that day, one of the other tooth
fairies from The Tooth Fairy Company will come to your house
instead. I promise that you’ll have a fun time getting a visit
and letter from any one of them. (Even though I’m the only
one who sings you a song!)
