Amusingly, parents specifically indoctrinating their children wasn't the origin of the tooth fairy story, as far as anyone can tell. There's no group of human beings on earth who haven't come up with her analog, and even though her current incarnation is an american original, she's as ancient as any god. We don't have to teach our kids to believe in tooth fairies, they'll come to such beliefs on their own, and always have. Our stories attach themselves to these older traditions, these older habits....and we cling to the stories long after the impetus for their being told is lost to our memories.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
