"Willa coming home saying 'I didn't eat my biscuit today because it had a tooth in it'! Wondered where that tooth of Frank's went, shouldn't leave them lying around in a snap lock bag on the kitchen bench."
Facebook users found the post hilarious and appreciated the mayor's insight into her personal life.
It’s been a busy time at our house lately! So much the Tooth Fairy had a bit of a fail in the chaos. Willa coming home...

"I'm howling!! That's absolutely priceless," a commenter said.
"This is gold!! Mayor or no mayor, it's a mum thing," one person commented.
"I think the tooth fairy owes double to Willa," one Facebook user wrote.
Gibson told the Herald her son Frank, 9, lost his tooth last Wednesday, and it ended up on the kitchen bench inside the snap lock bag.
The bag was then accidentally used to pack a biscuit for 10-year-old Willa's school lunch.
"Frank forgot all about losing his tooth and the payout, and we still haven't sorted it. It's still sitting on the window sill waiting to be put under a pillow," the mayor confessed. "He will remember when he wants some money for something."
