losing teeth
How many teeth does a kid have, and how long do they drag out the process
of loosing them? 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=- |

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 |

Cause her adult teeth were all coming in and pushing 'em out....... sigh It happens. |

When I went with my mom to Vegas for my 21st birthday a couple years ago, all I had really wanted was a single American silver dollar. I searched and searched, but I didn't want to look like a moron asking how I could get one. Low and behold, one of the casinos on Freemont St. had a slot machine that payed out silver dollars, so off I go and plug in a $10 bill... I cashed out immediately, thinking I'd have 10 new silver dollars, but to my shock and surprise, the stupid machine cashed out with 'silver dollars' that were good for the casino only! I was fairly upset because they were casino silver dollars, not real ones. I never did find my silver dollar lol |

Lets see, 3 kids, 20 teeth per kid = 60 teeth, $5 per tooth x 60 teeth = (*YIKES*) $300! -=R=- |
