The father took to Reddit’s Make Me Smile thread as he shared his tactic, which involved him sending his little girl a letter from “the tooth fairy”.
The letter, which came from “100 Castle Lane, Fairyland”, began: “I apologise for the delay in retrieving your teeth.
“As you are getting older and older, you have fewer and fewer baby teeth to lose, so I am sure each one is important to you.

“Now, with that said, I must be frank.
“The state of your room prevented us from performing a midnight retrieval.”
The letter continued by revealed that there had been several attempts to retrieve the teeth, that had been ultimately unsuccessful.
“The first attempt almost resulted in tragedy as one of our agent’s shoes got stuck to something icky on the floor,” it continued.
“While attempting to free herself, a pile of socks tipped over and nearly suffocated her.
“All the commotion alerted a large yellow dog and our agent had to abort the mission.
“Attempt number two went even worse than that, with our agent tripping upon entry and spraining her left dorsal wing.
“Luckily the large yellow dog was snoring and did not hear the fall.”
The letter then stated that the fairy had been “forced to perform a very rare daytime retrieval”.
“Since it is the nature of tooth fairies to operate at night (moonlight sustains us), diurnal (daytime) tooth fairies are a grumpy sort and protest to most tasks,” it continued.
The letter then concluded: “We do hope this exchange can be performed in the usual manner the next time you have teeth to get rid of.
“We also know that you have a choice when it comes to tooth disposal and we appreciate the opportunity to meet this need.”
