Who came up with the tooth fairy anyways, this is ridiculous.
My kid has been talking about it because some classmates have lost teeth recently. It got me thinking the whole thing is bonkers. We’re supposed to sneak in and put money under their pillow? How TF do we do this without waking them up? And HOW MUCH? Has the tooth fairy kept up with inflation?
My kids haven’t lost any teeth yet. Looking for input and fun stories from parents with kids who have lost teeth!
We have a little door-hanging tooth pocket. (Example Link below) This lets us avoid the pillow entirely.
As for inflation, our tooth fairy gives funny denominations. Gold $1 coins, $2 bills, etc. sometimes with tooth fairy related stickers on them, to mark their specialness.
