the following was posted in blue dry

erase
marker:

How many teeth does a kid have, and how long do they drag out the

process
of loosing them?

20 and it depends but usually before 13, 14 years old. Some kids

start
getting wisdom teeth at around 15-16 years old.

Aww! No fair... Amie is JUST starting to get them, nevermind lose

them!

We noticed she had not one, but both bottom teeth coming in, and this

was
when we were at the hospital on Feb. 2...
I have 15-16 years of teething, losing teeth and getting them back

again?
Bran hasn't lost a tooth yet, but he's only 5... Zach just lost his

first
tooth recently, but he's already 6.

My 12 year-old just lost *another* tooth! Third one this year, if

I'm
counting right. I'm starting to wonder if he's buying teeth from the

other
kids at school and bringing them here for the tooth fairy to pay him

for.
I
guess I should ask some of the local parents what the going rates are

for
teeth in this town - maybe the tooth fairy's generosity here has
sparked
an
inventive entrepreneurial spirit in the boy!

-=RaOuL=-

If you're counting right. :-) You counted? Impressive!

I'd probably be counting the loss to my change purse more than
anything...

I
have no idea what the going rate for teeth is, but I think I recall

getting
25¢ when I was younger, and I recall getting a whole dollar when I was
older. I recall a little girl, oh, maybe about 8? She came to our
garage
sale in the fall and she bought something, and she had said it was her

tooth
fairly money. Sure enough, she was missing a tooth, and I was shocked

to
see that she had a 5 dollar bill. I didn't ask, but I started to pray

a
lot
and prayed that the Tooth Fairy's going rate is NOT $5 a pop!
It makes me wonder if *she* or *they* can provide some sort of sliding
scale, subsidized tooth fairy rates or ANYTHING



Yeah, $5 is the standard rate here. Before my ex moved out she was doing
the tooth fairy thing and she set the rate. I kinda wonder if she didn't
plan this out. Hmmm...... Lets see, 3 kids, 20 teeth per kid = 60 teeth,
$5
per tooth x 60 teeth = (*YIKES*) $300!

-=R=-



The way I look at it, it all balances out in the end. You give them
money..... next time they want something, you say, you got money, buy it
yourself. Of course if normally would buy it for them but hey, works for

me.

Once I had to pay $10 for a tooth because I had no change. That sucked!

lol

I'm hoping that they'll get me a generous Father's Day gift. It's a few
months away, and they still have teeth...
