Tooth Fairy part deux

September 20th, 2007 by J

Ted over at NorthTemple.com again graces us with lessons learned from the Tooth Fairy. It’s his daughter’s second go around dealing with this mythical beast and things aren’t all smooth sailing in Ted-land.

She had very high hopes, given her prior experience with the magical exchange of a worthless discarded tooth for three shiny quarters. She went to bed with great anticipation, her tooth tucked into a ziplock baggie under her pillow. The next lesson: Prior experience sets expectations.

You know the drill by now - give the article a read and be ready to discuss. How do the lessons Ted presents here jive/conflict with what we’ve discussed thus far in terms of dealing with our clients?

    come to think of it… i had my wisdom teeth out a few years ago. All four of them. the oral surgeon didn’t give them back but I still think somebody owes ME some dollars and diamonds…or wait..what is it that boys get?
    (seriously though I felt bad for the guy, the bit about his daughters lower lip about made me tear up m’self!)
