Some teachers forge such special places in your heart that it’s hard to forget them (shout out, Mr James).
And one six-year-old is going to remember his headteacher Curt Angeli.
That’s because when little Landon lost his tooth – as in misplaced it – the principle of the school decided to step in and liaise with the tooth fairy.
Landon was unable to locate the tooth and thus get that sweet bit of cash that the tooth fairy is known to drop.
The first-grader at Gillett Elementary in Wisconsin was busy having a whale of a time and he didn’t realise a loose tooth had come out.
When he came back to class after recess, his teacher and fellow pupils noticed the change in his face.
They all searched the ball pit and around the playground but to no avail. Little Landon was not going to cash in today.
But not if Curt could help it. He decided to write a ‘verification’ letter to the tooth fairy to appeal to her better nature.
He even cheekily reminded her about some money she owed him from 1987.
In the letter addressed to the tooth fairy, Curt pulled out all the stops.
Making it as official as possible, he added the school’s letterhead and signed it off.
In it, he wrote: ‘Dear Tooth Fairy, today [Landon] lost a tooth while playing outside at recess.
‘Unfortunately, it was lost in our ga-ga pit, and despite the valiant efforts of an intrepid search team, we were unable to recover the tooth.
‘As a trained principal and hobby dentist, I can verify that there is definitely a gap in [Landon]’s teeth that was not there this morning when he came in.’
He continued: ‘Please accept this letter as official verification of a lost tooth and provide the standard monetary exchange rate you normally use for a real tooth.’
Curt’s postscript was also pretty hilarious as he wrote: ‘I am still waiting for the money for my wisdom teeth from 1987. Please remit as soon as possible.’
Come to think of it, there may be some owed payment around the ’95 era too.
