The tooth fairy...

[nickle730]

We leave the tooth in a glass of water beside the bed, then the TF puts the money in the glass of water. She takes the teeth and uses it to make furniture for other fairie's houses. Teeth with decay would not be worth as much because the furniture would not be as good!

Teeth go in a glass of water beside the bed in my house too. And then the money is put in the glass of water. That is also what I grew up with.

Absolutely. $2 in the glass on the kitchen bench (no table in the boys' room)... easier for tooth fairy.

Except when said tooth fairy washes said tooth down sink and boy gets completely distressed... then we write a letter to the Tooth Fairy explaining what happened and then it's still $2 but not in a glass... (Naughty Mummy!)

He has wrapped the tooth in some kitchen paper and put it under his pillow, and I have $2 in change (including a $1 coin) to swap it with. I am definitely going to let him know teeth with decay are worth less, that's such a great tip
