LOVE the tooth bed idea, I'll have to share that with friends. (My kids are too old to be losing teeth although I am well on my way to dentures.)
I once forgot to play tooth fairy...my friend at work called my son later that day for me, pretending of course so be a sick tooth fairy who promised to stop by that night with "lots & lots" of money. She is now pregnant with her first kid - payback is a comin!

I don't know! The tooth fairy used to bring Corey Sacajawea dollars, one per tooth. No clue what will happen with the girls.

PS I think it's genius, too.

Ha! When I was growing up it was a quarter per tooth. But I guess w inflation & crap...$1 makers sense. Dang. $5 is waay too much

Hee! I love that this boiled down to a genius/ non-genius example!

We do a silver dollar first tooth and a regular old dollar for the rest.

{Love the tooth bed! It really is genius. :) }

OMG! Totally didn't know how lucrative loosing teeth was! Growing up we only got .25 per tooth. Maybe my parents were cheap! Didn't realize kids were factored into inflation, my kids will be lucky if they even get a dollar when they loose their teeth. I say that now, we'll see!

I've had to do the "it must have fallen" thing too! We paid out $1 a tooth, but that was kinda fair for the time they were losing them. I know my nieces and nephews are getting $5-10 each now!

We have yet to lose a tooth - I can't help but feel left out - we're the only ones I swear! And we're 6 and a quarter years old over here! It's ok though - gives me more time to save up!

Haha!

Your first experience had my dying of laughter--but I must say this last one did, too :)

And what is the going rate for a tooth these days? So going to Google this...

Our tooth fairy leaves a special one dollar coin which they then give to Daddy for safe keeping!! They also found their teeth in my jewelry box. I was quick to come up with a deal I made with the tooth fairy to get the teeth back for my scrapbooking addiction so I could have them in their baby books!!

Yes my husband is the same!! I was going to do $1 but no, he said we had to do $5! His first four teeth he had to have pulled- $20 right there!

This is hilarious!

In my house, when we reach the tooth-losing stage, that is, my husband will be the one who slips a penny under the pillow and I'll have to supplement with a dollar. Already, we rob his wallet to "pay" his allowance. We're cheap, too.
