My child lost their first tooth today.

I (being clever) got them to put it in an envelope under their pillow ready for the tooth fairy.

The tooth fairy tells me the envelope was empty but they left £2 anyway. Hopefully this is standard procedure. XD

My daughter lost her first tooth at age six. The next morning, I went in to wake her up and she found her $5 under the pillow, at which point she looked me directly in the eyes and asked, “Mom, are you the tooth fairy?” Uhhh….. I think I gave her the standard cop-out parental response (“What do you think?”) but the cat was out of the bag.

When I was about seven I lost a tooth and decided to do a test. I didn't tell anyone and still put it under my pillow. Needless to say I was double sad the next day. I had proof that the tooth fairy was a lie and I was down a dollar.

My son did this, but he’s also the most chill kid and just kind of mentioned it the next day. He seemed pleased that he had figured it out, so I hope he wasn’t hiding true disappointment!
