Does anyone know how this started? I know the origins of Santa Claus, the the Tooth Fairy is really BIZARRE!
"I made $120.00
never mind...I just looked it up! :-)
Let us not perpetuate the practice of ‘churnalism’ by circulating these thinly-veiled PR stunts from various companies.
Some CPA firm does same with Christmas items.
And the Franchise Tax Board is sending out demand letters for each one in California. Pay up, you little brats!
We used to get a quarter a tooth - yikes! My kids got 50 cents a tooth and if it was a big molar they got a buck!
When my oldest started to lose his teeth we lived overseas and he got foreign bills so he was probably only getting $.25 but it looked cool. He usually wouldn’t spend it and probably still has it stashed somewhere. When we returned to the States they would get $1.00 but sometimes $5.00 if the “tooth fairy” didn’t have $1.00 in his wallet. What really took the bloom off the tooth fairy rose was when my youngest had orthodontia and they pulled five at a time to make space in her mouth...on two separate occasions! She got $20.00 because we felt so bad for her!
All the fairies got more important things to do than go around and give little kids money for their lost teeth.
