The  “Tooth Fairy” tradition has been passed down from generation to generation, and parents can rely on it to make their children feel more at ease about loosing their teeth. Some believe that the tooth fairy’s origins lie in the European traditions, specifically, the Nords, for whom Viking teeth were crucial for their culture. Parents going on expeditionary adventures or war used to cary their kids baby teeth for blessing and protection. 

Layne my granddaughter called and said the tooth fairy came to visit her and she found some dollars under her pillow.  Times have changed, coins were all we ever found. 

Shelley said, “We got a quarter if it was top notch and brushed often.”

Wilson lost a tooth and looked under his pillow and said,  “Look the tooth fairy gave me a quarter, no......!! it is a Mexican Quarter “!!  It was a fifty cent piece.  He had never seen a half dollar fifty cent piece.   

Another time the fairy forgot …!!   And his tooth was still there when he woke up. Anne rushed in to console him, and then went back to cooking breakfast. She  snuck back in a little later and called from the kitchen, hey Wilson I think I heard the fairy. You had better look again…!!  Sure enough the fairy had come.    Wilson hasn’t come up with an answer for that one yet.

 One lady said, I was busy and forgot about the tooth fairy and when I went into the child’s bedroom they were still awake and so I couldn’t get the tooth and give them any money, so I just threw the change I had under the bed and planned to come get the tooth later.

Lots of tooth stories about the tooth fairy. Walt Disney even came up with some tooth fairy stories……..!!!!!!!
