My child lost their first tooth today.

I (being clever) got them to put it in an envelope under their pillow ready for the tooth fairy.

The tooth fairy tells me the envelope was empty but they left £2 anyway. Hopefully this is standard procedure. XD

When I was about seven I lost a tooth and decided to do a test. I didn't tell anyone and still put it under my pillow. Needless to say I was double sad the next day. I had proof that the tooth fairy was a lie and I was down a dollar.

The tooth fairy doesn't just show up, obviously your adults need to call in a tooth fairy pickup or she'll never know to stop by! Hers is among the scrappier mythological operations, she doesn't have the big-budget infrastructure of your Santa Claus types.

My son did this, but he’s also the most chill kid and just kind of mentioned it the next day. He seemed pleased that he had figured it out, so I hope he wasn’t hiding true disappointment!
