I'm sorry but that is the best story about the tooth fairy ever. Your kid profited by that so much more than getting to believe it's true. Did your kid come to realize if one was fake all were like Santa and the Easter bunny or never connect the dots?

By the time I was ten, they would have been worth 88 cents. I typically got $0.50 for my teeth, so my parents were a bit under the average.
I think you should send an invoice.
The Easter Bunny yeah. Santa not so much and even when she did find out, she had to keep it all a secret because of her sister. With J having Ds and a maturity level of 7 years old, we never told her Santa wasn't real. She gets so excited at seeing Santa, we just didn't have the heart to tell her.
