Tynan just called me all excited to tell me he lost his first tooth. So what is a reasonable offering from the good fairy. $1 sound right?

Give the kid a fin?? First tooth? Finster! Cash though....no checks, no money orders and no Paypal!

My kids are ought of that stage now but I think we paid up to $2.

A buck? He can't even buy a bomber with that!

Pain and suffering brings a premium!:tooth:

5 bucks and kids prefer coins. ;)

Give him a plug!

A 2 dollar bill !
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

My kids are happy with a buck....

They were getting the clad gold colored coins for a while..

I like Nebe's idea. I remember getting those as a kid, something special about those 2 dollar bills. Out of the ordinary..Helps mark the event in your memory.

I have some 2 dollar bills at home that is a good idea! A plug may give it awat that there is no toof fairy.

Gold dollar coins

A plug may give it awat that there is no toof fairy.

What?

Next thing you'll tell people is that there is no Santa or Easter Bunny, right?

$50........Thats a good round number


(remember Tynan If I can talk Dad up i get 50%)

I remember getting anywhere from a quarter to a dollar. Progressed as I got older.

the tooth fairy cannot fly with Bills

When my daughter was losing teeth, I told her how to get double cash. One night put a white bead in the tooth bag, the next the real tooth. Slip the Fairy a slug.
The first morning she came running downstairs yelling "It Worked, Dad it worked!!"

Then in a couple of minutes my wife was yelling something completely different... Never got to the second night....

each of us kids questioned
whether there really was a tooth FAIRY :huh:

well............

In my eldest brother's room was this odd door and at the top
was a set of very small footprints going to the top
about ye BIG |___|

and the story went... that long ago the tooth fairy accidentally
stepped into the ink well when LANDING and these are the tracks to prove it

and of course after the explanation of what an ink well was....

we bought it HOOK, LINE, and Sinker :uhuh:

:grins:

Well,,,,, How did the little guy like the Van Staal.....:soon: :rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:

How can you put a value on the love of your son:smash::grins:

5 bucks in my house.

What's the going rate for a gold crowned tooth? If high enough bid I've got the pliers ready to pull.

1$ is fine. Kids are spoiled today.

I have no answere for you but its a real cool thing to have to think about. :)

In my day it was a coin and a quarter was considered real good! Most often it was a dime that could be slipped into a little slit in the corner of the envelope and the tooth removed from the same little slit right along the fold. That way the kid will think it must be magic if he seals it in an envelope himeslef before going to sleep. next day , tooth gone , money there in the same unopened envelope. :)

Spoiled my son as his first three teeth had to be extracted in one sitting. Those commanded a premium, three new dollar coins a piece! But the day was more memorable for the both of us as we then went to Castle Rock and caught half a dozen fish on chunks! This was before S-B.com, and he was talking about that day (the fishing) just this summer!

A buck? He can't even buy a bomber with that!

LOL I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a nice flyrod... :biglaugh:

$2 sounds good

All I can think of when I here 1 buck is the McDonald's commercial


What can I get for a buck , And the cab driver replies out!!!!!!!!

I didn't have change and couldn't find my $2 bills. So he got a 5. I got jumped on at 7 am with a big missing tooth smile. It was well worth it!

OK here's the FAQs: Facts about Baby Teeth (http://www.tfairy.com/factsFAQ.html)

Let's see: $5/tooth and 20 baby teeth = $100
Big missing tooth smile: PRICELESS

Gold dollar coins


That's what I always used for my twin boys. They just got done with braces, that took 9600 gold coins.

Dollar amount doesn't matter.Just make it fun for them and it will be a good memory regardless of the $$.To this day,on St Patrick's Day my three kids wake up to find their rooms in a shambles,drawers open and lamps knocked over and an item of their clothing colored bright green (RIT DYE). Those leprachauns can certainly be mischievious. They are only young for a short time Casey,make the memories everlasting.

How bout some pics???

Cool!! $5 for a life long memory...what a bargain!

For first tooth The Toothfairy leaves a $20 then onto about $5 in gold coins. Funny thing about that was tooth came out at night and the only thing we had were $20s.

Great story Chris. Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys. I will get a pic as the other bottom tooth is loose.
