re: PSA: The Tooth Fairy gives $1 for teeth

Our neighbor gave their daughter $100. I just turned to my kids and said “that’s it, there is no tooth fairy.”

Tooth fairy has dropped off 10’s & 20’s here over the years. No small bills to be found when needed.

Thanks for the heads-up, gramps.

All of you suck.

Every one of y'all.

And you all know it.

You all ruined this once beautiful world.

when it's a $5 or $10 it's only because It's the only bill in the house and it's back to $1's after not the "new norm"

I'm thinking Pinterest must have been pushing the dollar gold coins back in the day. Wife told me about it, and I went and got a roll when our daughter was about to lose teeth. The first few were fine. The last one I still vividly remember. Waited up until after midnight to slip back and play the tooth fairy. At least 30 minutes goes by, and she comes downstairs bawling her eyes out. She said "I saw what you did" and there in the middle of the night we had to tell her the tooth fairy was just something fun parents did for their kids when they started losing teeth.

But we kept the gold coins going for her younger siblings. They never spend them, heck my kids never spend any cash they get. They give it to me after birthdays and Christmas and want to order something from Amazon.

My dad forgot to put money under my pillow once and I was upset in the morning and while still half asleep in his boxers he said "let me check, you must've missed it" and I saw him sneak a bill under my pillow while "looking".

I played dumb, but that ended my tooth fairy days.

Best part, in his tired daze, he put a $20 under there. I said "oh my gosh $20!" and the look on his face was hilarious. He couldn't take it back
