Inspired by the fact I am watching The Tooth Fairy right now....

Did you believe in the Tooth Fairy? How much did the Tooth Fairy leave you in return for your teeth? The girl in this film gets a dollar. I used to always get £1 for each tooth, which was a pretty sweet deal!

Also, bonus question: whyyy am I finding myself strangely attracted to Stephen Merchant in this film?

childhood, myths, celebrities

Yep. I got $1 for the first and last, and 50 cents for all the teeth in between. It was actually how I figured out about Santa. I lost a tooth and the Tooth Fairy forgot to come for like 3 nights in a row.

Aww! What a mean bitch, forgetting you like that! :( I think I was pretty devastated when I realised the tooth fairy wasn't real.

I mean, I was already on the verge of figuring it out, it just kind of confirmed it. I continued to get the money anyway, though, so it wasn't all that devastating.

My family didn't do the Tooth Fairy, Santa, etc. The only imaginary figure allowed under our roof was God. I'd go straight to my mom. The price was never consistent, being anywhere from $1-$5. I think molars got you more.

And Stephen Merchant is pretty homely, so idk bro.

it depended on how much the "tooth fairy" made at the time. if it was summer i would usually get anywhere between 5-10 bucks and if it were winter i'd get a baggie of coins, whatever was in her pocket at the end of the day.

10 bucks a tooth? Wow!

yeah, but that was rare. my parents had a "share the wealth" mentality when things were going good.

Same :] Although mine were in Pound Sterling :]

A girl at my school told me she found the teeth in her parents cupboard and that she knew the tooth fairy wasn't real (we were in year 1) and I have never argued so passionately with anyone since. I totally believed in it, with all my heart :D I used to get 50p per tooth, but when I got older it went up to a £1 probably because I'd caught on and demanded more money.

Yey for inflation!
