My daughter lost her first tooth last night

[shmokes]

It felt a little bit wrong later on when I literally threw a piece of her in the garbage.

always just as the warranty runs out, the damn things start breaking on you.

Shmokes, it's toss the tooth and keep the daughter.  Toss the tooth and keep... oh nevermind

Do you participate in the Tooth Fairy shenanigans?  What is the going rate for a tooth were you are?

[TopJimmyCooks]

Tooth fairy -- hey, you paid for the merch, it's your's to throw away.

It's always great when the little ones lose their teeth and get excited about getting money. Of course, it has to be one of the most stressful things ever trying to remove that tooth from under the pillow without waking them up or getting caught!

Toss the tooth...Wow, I'm sentimental enough to put them in a baggie and keep them for a while. My parents did...then again my was was a dentist so there were tooth stuff everywhere. LOL, actually they went in the baby-book in the "Baby's first tooth page".

I've always been a bit against tooth-flation...I think we got as high as two dollars. Best is those gold dollar coins. My kids never woke up.

Gold dollar coins are great, look and feel fancy.  I also have bags of teeth in my sock drawer, I have no idea what else to do with them, how the hell do I throw them away???

$1.99 - She left a note to the Tooth Fairy requesting that specific sum.

That's pretty funny. We did $5 for the first and $1 for the rest.

You did the right thing. Don't make the same mistake I did by hiding it. She found her tooth later. Let's just say there were questions to be answered...

That's cute.

We had to pay to pull 3 of my daughter's baby teeth one time.  She still wanted the tooth fairy money.

Kids know what's up. all they want is that cash...they don't care who gives it to them (faerie or otherwise).

wut!? some kind of 1.99 meal deal advertised on TV or something?

Yeah, I don't know why that specific amount, but I thought it was pretty comical. We don't have TV, so she doesn't see any commercials (she see's plenty of TV and movies, but it's all downloaded). I suppose she still sees price tags here and there, posters in stores and so on. I think it's more about stuff they've been doing in school lately with counting coins. For a month or so they were learning about markets and they did product packaging exercises. I was surprised. She's in Kindergarten. Public school.

Our oldest is 13, and she just lost her sixth.  Hers are a tad slow coming out.

Had to have three teeth surgically removed when I was 8.  The tooth fairy got me a ticket to Star Wars on opening night.

That's funny, my 2nd daughter lost her first tooth yesterday.  I use the term "lost" fairly loosely though since I yanked it out for her.  She'd been complaining about it bothering her when she ate and wanted me to if it makes anyone feel better.

Up until now we've given her older sister dollar coins but didn't have any in the house yesterday so I did something I'll probably regret.  I was fairly bored so I made a origami butterfly with a dollar bill.  They've already decided that they want to leave a note for the tooth fairy requesting them that way in the future so I might be stuck doing that unless I can get my wife to do some.

Didn't take a picture but this is basically what it looked like:

Maybe a little more sloppy...

BTW, tell the kids the tooth fairy prefers they leave their teeth on the bureau and you don't have to be a ninja when making the swap.

That's kind of a raw deal, seeing as watching Episode 1 is about on par with having teeth pulled.

  Good one!

My mom kept me and my siblings teeth.  I don't know what her plans are but with 3 kids she should have enough to make a necklace out of them. 

I need to learn to make that butterfly.  Looks nice anyway.  I like to fold up a bunch of T-shirts and use them for tips.

Oops I should have said Episode 4.  Sorry Jake.   

I'm finding out that it is becoming more of a chore to communicate to kids these days. 

[DaOld Man]

I still have my sons first lost tooth (He is 29 now), and my daughters (She will be 21 in a week).
Now I have something to leave them in my will. LOL

[shmokes]

I suggested to my wife that we make earrings out of them. She was not inclined to do so.
