The letter continues: ‘Mr. Warren we will accept the tooth on this occasion but we need your assurances that the condition of your next tooth will be significantly better or we will withhold payment.’
After delivering the message Henry took to Twitter to share his ‘genius’ idea with fellow parents.
Sam was “somewhat chastened” by the note, as was his 5-year-old sister after he read it to her.
Still, “he took the money and ran,” Barry noted. “Hopefully to buy floss.”
Warren’s social media post and the sprite’s note has been retweeted more than 14,000 times since it went up. But Barry said the response he’s received has been “appalling.”
“Look, I’m getting painted as a petty bureaucrat for writing this note,” he said by email. “I’ll admit it might have been a bit strongly worded, but you have to understand the conditions we tooth fairies have to work in. It would give anyone a headache.”
Posting a photo of the letter, he tweeted: ‘Our son is dreadful at brushing his teeth. Turns out the Tooth Fairy has had enough.’
The tweet has thus far amassed more than 5,000 likes and 2,000 retweets as fellow parents applaud his efforts.
Henry even received a pat on the back from dental hygiene company Colgate:
‘Parenting level: expert’ wrote one with another agreeing tweeting ‘Genius…I’m keeping this.’
The father even received a pat on the back from dental hygiene company Colgate who tweeted: ‘A healthy smile is a happy smile! Many thanks to Barry T. Tooth Fairy for helping us keep smiles bright.’
