*Please note subject is serious

Anyway, went into the lil bro about an hour ago, he's 8 and still believes in the tooth fairy. Was being a good big brother, deciced to fluff his pillows as they were pretty squashed. As i lifted them he said,
"oh wait i've to get my tooth wanna see"

So anyway, i looked at tooth and acted amazed as you do and then this conversation ensued

Me: K, now put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy
Bro: Nah its okay, ill just keep it in my hand
Me: But the tooth fairy is too small to pry your hands open..
Bro: Well if shes small she can fit in the gaps of fingers, but it doesnt matter cos i've had it under my pillow last four days and she hasnt come.

omfg. I honestly felt pity on the kid. Poor guy. So im going to act as the tooth fairy tonight, folks are out.
Curious though, how much do you give in this day and age?

Any help will be great thanks

A euro or two sounds fair. Give him two - he's been waiting for four days

Dunno how the folks do that and the other '2 major things' without being caught, harder than it looks(couldnt find his tooth for ages, was waiting to wake the older brother sleepin underneath him) hehe.. fun though.

My first tooth didn't fall out till I wa 8, so I never beleived in the tooth fairy. But i played along. I only got a pound. Which wasn't much back in 1994, all my friends got at least 2.

Thats great - say he was happy. Being Santa is harder. I used to be terrified in case I got caught. My daughter is 11 now but don't believe but I'm starting all over again with my 2 yr old! She wouldn't go to bed on her own on xmas eve - says she was frightened. So I'd have to go with her and I'd set my alarm for 3:00 and then sneak downstairs and set out all the toys, take a bite out of Rudolphs carrot, write a little note "from Santa", fill up the stocking and put it on her bed. I never got caught thank god. Luckily my daughter is a very heavy sleeper and would sleep through a thunderstorm. I don't know how parents do it with light sleepers!

Just make sure it's not enough to make them want to pull the rest of their teeth out.
A friends niece got the idea that she should pull out the rest of her teeth and use the money to buy toys.
I think she was actually found trying to tie a piece of string around the door and her tooth.
She ended up being told that they have to fall out naturally or the tooth fairy won't come.
Thankfully she didn't make the link between eating sweets and lots of soft drinks, and teeth falling out.
