But I wasn't prepared when the time came. I usually leave $2. The one time my poor boy had a traumatic dentist visit that resulted in a pulled tooth he got $10 and a Bionicle. <br />I am anything but consistent. ;-)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328636861375741176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-75863498138946186432009-12-07T17:00:42.674-05:002009-12-07T17:00:42.674-05:00I'll tell you what kind of tooth fairy give $1...I'll tell you what kind of tooth fairy give $100 a JACKASS Tooth Fairy that is going to give the kid a sports car on thier 16th b-day...and then wonder why they have to loan the kid money @ 25, so they can pay off 20K in credit card debt.....Former Fat Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003426076495288197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-40613342012265131652009-12-07T14:35:54.194-05:002009-12-07T14:35:54.194-05:00My kids are lucky if the tooth fairy even comes. ...My kids are lucky if the tooth fairy even comes.

He's convinced that one of his teeth is loose. (I didn't check because the whole thing creeps me out...) Anyway, he asked if the TF is real, and if he would be getting a nickel for every lost tooth. Hell, yes, a nickel sounds great! :) So, he's not even convinced that there is a tooth fairy... no one better tell him that there is and she sometimes gives ipods and $100 bills! <br /><br />I always got change - whatever was in my tooth fairies pocket on the day my tooth was lost, I think.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151171029123066511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-15227069210020167792009-12-07T09:11:44.080-05:002009-12-07T09:11:44.080-05:00the rate at which my oldest is losing teeth would ...the rate at which my oldest is losing teeth would require a hefty bank loan to keep him in iPods + $100 bills. no time to save up for that. <br /><br />i agree with the $5 first tooth, $1 thereafter assessment.bootsie q. mcgromblesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993708942840429320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-65817681147114885352009-12-07T09:06:09.298-05:002009-12-07T09:06:09.298-05:00$100?

I'll be back for the tooth." Both of which only seemed to appear after I asked my mom why my tooth had been neglected.<br /><br />Yeesh. I'm gonna have to start knocking out my teeth.

Everyone will hate them for their trashiness and soulless existence. The ONLY way the $100.00 is acceptable is if the parent said "Oh wow, look at how generous someone was to you. Now you pick your favorite charity to donate 95% of that to." The iPod is just creepy. Watch out for those parents, they are obviously either: buying their kids love or secret perverts that know how to tempt a kid into liking them.GreenGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18423863482330128052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-62613058221854041742009-12-07T00:56:47.102-05:002009-12-07T00:56:47.102-05:00our tooth fairy has a secret stash of two dollar b...our tooth fairy has a secret stash of two dollar bills and gold sacajawea dollars on hand. she visited dixie for the first time last week.~Gretchen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03277161027743471684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-36193786647598002482009-12-06T22:48:42.110-05:002009-12-06T22:48:42.110-05:00I agree 100%!
