Bedtime Story on how the word coach potato came about.

There was once a male fairy whose name is “Potato”.   He is attracted to the tooth fairy and would do anything for her.

Potato was a very odd fairy often teased by the other fairies.  He didn’t mind because he knew that the fairies liked him. 

One day the tooth fairy approached him for help.  There were too many teeth to collect. 

Potato immediately agreed.  This was the first for Potato leaving Fairyland.

When the Tooth Fairy returned, she looked for Potato but couldn’t find him.  She asked the other fairies if they have seen him but none had.  They searched all over Fairyland but still no Potato.

So Tooth Fairy went to the places Potato was to go to collect tooth.  Finally, she came to a house with the TV switched on.  To her horror, Potato was on the coach growing roots.  She managed to rescue Potato by switching off the telly.

Story about Potato soon spread and in time people and fairies were warned not to watch too much t.v. or risk turning into a couch potato.
