Fibber, Fibber, Fibber
Apparently, tooth fairies have really come a long way since I was younger. Who knew I could have written a note asking for something other than the silver dollars I used to get?
I’ll translate this crayon written note for you: He asked for a Nintendo DSI or………$100.00.
And here I was thinking that the Tooth Fairy was pretty generous in leaving him $10.00 for his first molar. Seriously, who does he think the Tooth Fairy is? Santa?
I did feel badly that he was let down, but his request was pretty insane. The funny part is that afterwards (that is, after I explained that the tooth fairy covering our house is cheap.) I asked him which of his friends had gotten that big a gift for losing a tooth. He mentioned some boy’s name that I had never heard before.
Hmmm.
Because I’m smarter than the average 9 year old and can smell a fib a mile away, I asked him for the friend’s last name so that I could call his mom and find out HOW they had gotten such a great tooth fairy. His reply to me:
You can’t call her. They moved and I don’t know where they moved to”.
Alrighty. (Fibber)

I love it! That is quite the fancy tooth fairy! I think we are going to need to start at a nickel or a quarter so we have somewhere to go besides $100! He’s no dummy though!

$100 is insane (to me).

I like a kid with lofty goals. Why ask for the moon if you can get a solar system?

He’s a creative lil bugger. I love that about him!

I am here cracking up because the tooth fairy is expected to visit our house tonight. We’ve explained how the tooth fairy leaves different amounts based on how clean the tooth is, effort put into the letter, and the number of teeth collected from all children that night.
As of now, an hour before bedtime, the tooth is scrubbed but I have yet to see my little boy write his letter! too bad, so sad!

This was new to me too. He’s lost all of his front teeth already and never before was there a note.

My son just lost his first tooth, and we gave him $10 also…I thought it was a bit much, but okayed it since it was the first. He proved to be so good about it, he said he was going to give half to his sister. Aren’t kids great? When you don’t want to strangle them?

That was really nice of him to do! What a sweet boy!

Well, you have to applaud the boy for trying. Besides, mom, there really is no big difference between $10 and $100, right? (Snicker, Snicker…)

I was actually pretty proud of him for writing it. Shows initiative. (I think)

I love it that he’s putting the tooth under Dad’s pillow. Hilarious.

I should have explained that dad was traveling for work and I had told my son he could sleep with me that night. Ooops.

That is hilarious! I always find children’s fibs to be so funny because they really are outlandish.

When I married my husband, I already had a five and a half year old son. When he started losing teeth, my husband gave him $1.00 or $5.00 I can’t remember. I thought he was insane.
The next two are back down to 25 cents.

I’m pretty cheap here. But what’s even worse is that I’m lazier than I am cheap…soooo..since I didn’t have a $5 or a single. Giving ten beat getting in the car to break the ten.

His answer made me laugh out loud! Clever! You’re going to have to keep a close eye on that one! Great post.

Thank you, thank you. I should tell the clever story on how he covered a toilet seat in saran wrap at the age of 4 or 5. I was the victim of that cleverness.
[Reply]
that’s too funny…times sure have changed haven’t they?!
I think one year my mom gave me a button…must of been doing it in the dark, thought she pulled out a quarter and gave me a gosh darn button….that’s about as bad as the time she forgot my birthday, and when she found me in the dark crying after my day had come and gone, she said, i didn’t forget your birthday silly…hold on, i have your present down stairs…so she runs downstairs, and then back up…and gives me a pack of unwrapped old maid cards. (obviously something she had stashed away in her closet for an emergency gift situation)…but talk about disappointing! OLD MAID CARDS!
Next tooth, give him a deck of cards! He’ll be scared for life!

Well the kids wants his money’s worth right? I mean, he is willingly surrending a piece of his body to this strange, tooth collecting broad that breaks in to his house and steals his teeth. My kid has been trying to tell me that he preschool friends acctauly both drive, and have given birth to their own children, and she doesn’t understand why she can’t do the same.

Ten bucks! Man, the going rate has gone up even since my older ones were little. Guess I’ll have to save up for the next round with the little guy.
Love the fib. Your boy is a smart one isn’t he?

Wow! That is some serious inflation! Although I know the fibbing part is not right, that is just too cute. I once lost a tooth at my grandparents’ house and my mom helped me hang up a sign to let the tooth fairy know I was there because I was so afraid she wouldn’t find me. Make no mistake about it, the tooth fairy is a big deal!
