So we were having dinner last night and poor little Thomas was upset that he wouldn’t be able to enjoy his roast chicken and roast potatoes since his tooth was so wobbly. Next thing you know he jumps up and shouts “my tooth’s out!!!”. Man was he excited! “let’s see” the rest of us said, “here” and Thomas shows us a tiny piece of potato. Dad: “Ah, no Tommy, that’s a piece of potato”. Tommy: “no it’s my tooth!”. Dad squishes the potato to prove it. Me: “so where is it?”. Ahem, after searching for a minute or so we realise that Thomas swallowed his tooth. LOL! Much crying later we finally manage to convince Thomas that the Tooth Fair won’t mind and she’ll still cough up the dough. Thomas was pleased that he’d still get his 20 cents… even more pleased when Jade corrected him that the going rate for teeth these days was $2 from the Tooth Fairy. And yes, the Tooth Fairy did turn up and leave Thomas his $2. A happy ending. 
oh how exciting, sad and funny.
$2 for a tooth? do molars bring in more $$$? Gee i’d best start saving now I think LOL
Wow Pretz, this is such a great story……..I reckon you will have to scrap it!!!!! Priceless!!!!….luv Sandie
Just read your comment Alisa. Apparently it is $2.00 for first tooth, and two big front teeth…..all others are $1.00………..that’s what our tooth fairy does anyway.
One child at school received $50.00 (fifty dollars) for their first tooth…………..how are you supposed to explain that one?????????????
yep – $2 for the first tooth….the rest are $1….and if the tooth falls out after 4pm, its too late for that nights list *blush*
Thats so cool Angela – hope he enjoys his new dosh!
I was hoping just 20c a tooth
Cute Story Angela. The tooth fairy that visits our house always leaves a gold coin ($2). She’s going to kick herself when she finds out that $1 is the going rate. LOL
Yes well Fiona & Coby, $2 is Sydney prices. LOL.
LOL we had a swallowed tooth once and we had to write a note for the tooth fairy and sign it so she knew that the tooth was really lost. Then there was the time I had to ring the toothfairy to get Mary put on the register as she was only 5 and the toothfairy didn’t come to her the night she lost hers! It wasn’t until the next morning that we realised that you aren’t on the toothfairy register until you turn six, so we had to ring and get Mary put on it early
So cute Angela – Alex has a wobbly tooth and he has just turned 5 – can’t wait for it to come out. He didn’t even know about the tooth fairy so I had to explain it all to him lol! Sam lost his first 2 teeth at 4 and 1/2, we were very shocked as he was so young. Sam once left one at school and he had to write a note – so cute I did scrap it including the tooth!
