Maddie informed me she had a loose tooth recently...let me preface this by saying, she has 'cried tooth' before. She SO desperately wants to start losing them. I finally felt for myself on Sunday and *surprise* it actually was decently loose. Well being my child, she couldn't leave it alone, so by Monday when I picked her up from school, she had wiggled it out of there!
Greg was out the night the tooth fairy came. He asked me the next day and i told him she had left Maddie $2. I knew he was going to tell me the tooth fairy was cheap...which he did being the over-indulger that he is.
Here's the thing... you have to start out small. Otherwise when they lose their molars they're going to expect a twenty!
I figured up with my parents having 7 kids, and giving an average of $3 a tooth...thats about $500! Kind of crazy.
So what is the going rate...?

$2 is cheap??? What every happened to a quarter???? That is all we ever got and we were thrilled with that. You could get a ring sucker with that tooth fairy quarter. Which would make your teeth rot faster and then they would fall out quicker... only leading to more quarters :) ha ha.
congrats maddie on losing your tooth. caleb hasn't lost any yet.
I think $2 sounds pretty good too. I'm with Megan, I remember being excited finding change under my pillow the next morning! Of course, now Livi has a "loose tooth." =)
It's $1 at my house. It was a quarter when I was growing up. AND, mollars aren't "worth" any more than the front teeth. Brookelyn hasn't lost any teeth yet either.
I got change too...but it seems like we got a little more the older we got.
And let's face it..that was 20 years ago gals. What about inflation? = )
Are you serious $2 is cheap?? dang
I think we got dimes.
Funny post. Love that big space, Maddie Mae!
Congratulations, Maddie Mae!! Now, we just have to inform the Tooth Fairy that your favorite color is RED. . . NOT PINK!!! She has so many details to remember!! ;) I think the Tooth Fairy is more than generous. $1 is what our Tooth Fairy leaves and I'm with everyone else. . . I used to get a quarter and I was GLAD. . . .along with walking to school in the snow with no boots, uphill both ways. . .
I'm pretty sure that when I lost my first tooth, my mom felt that was the perfect time to let me in on the falsity of the tooth fairy myth. Now THAT'S cheap!! Haha
