losing teeth

On Tue, 21 Feb 2006 22:14:55 -0500, "-=RaOuL=-" 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 T 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... -=R=- |
