Jokes on them, I occasionally forgot when my kid told me and just had to say I guess the tooth fairy was extra busy. Once I forgot 2 nights in a row. So this wouldn’t have been conclusive data.
Thanks for doing your part to keep the ledge alive lol
Tooth fairy can read minds. Don’t try to deceive her again, or she will send her cousin, the tongue demon.
Grats to the kid. It developed the ability for critical thinking early. Time to admit the lie and stop using fairy tales as a tool.
The next developmental step might make giving money for teeth a really cursed incentive btw. So disconnecting the reward from the loss of teeth is probably a good idea. Just increase the weekly allowance accordingly to not make it look like discoveries are punished.We (sibling and I ) thought we were smart and did something similar with Santa when we were kids. We were then told “fine Christmas is canceled then” I can tell you we became believers full of Christmas spirit really quick.
nsfw to protect people still believing in toothfairy?
Protecting people from the far left radical science.

Nah the tooth fairy requires you to tell your parents as part of her fairy contract.
I’d always put the money in an envelope with my kids names written to be all magical and fancy looking but didn’t try especially hard to disguise my handwriting. When my daughter was probably eight she just casually informed me how much she had noticed the tooth fairy’s handwriting looked just like mine 🤔 she’s smart, it both let me know she knew what was up but was still low key enough the gravy train kept coming for the rest of her teeth lol
My wife writes it with her left hand, to avoid this very issue!
Whenever I try that the text just looks like it was written by a stoned wombat
Good on her, she’ll go far!
It’s a valuable lesson for him to learn the hard way.
Having to route your request through the proper channels to get things done.
“Did you submit a ticket?”
I did this as a kid as well, though I never confronted my parents about it. I just quietly died a little inside as the whimsical magic of my childhood was eclipsed by the cold truth of our reality.
I think I was born with a grifters gene, because once I learned the tooth fairy gives money, I told my parents that a tooth fell out at school, and I lost it, but will the tooth fairy still come? And sure enough she did. I got money for no lost tooth.
Only worked once though. My parents got suspicious when I lost a tooth every day after that.
The cold truth being that humans in general are a really bad source for facts. They lie to protect. They lie to save face. They lie because they don’t like the truth. And they accidentally lie because they don’t know better. No one can be trusted in this world. You have to fact-check everything. And we didn’t even have the internet back then.
Well yeah kid; how the fuck is the Tooth Fairy™ delivery guy supposed to know if your parents don’t sign-in to their localtoothfairy.com app?
I heard the app collects personal data they sell to Big Dental.
it’s true. they use tracking cookies
The cookies are a ploy by Big Dental to give you more cavities they can fill
Last Christmas my daughter kept getting closer to figuring things out until one night she cryptically said, “I can’t wait until I’m an adult so I can learn about grown up secrets.”
“What kind of secrets are those?”
“You know, like if Santa wasn’t real or something.”
“Well if Santa wasn’t real, then we’d definitely want to keep that secret from kids like your little brother, so we’d never ever talk about it.”
“Oh yeah.”
Then she never mentioned it again.
It may have been our fault for doing way too many holiday activities. She must have met four or five different Santas that year.
Why is this marked NSFW? I was expecting to derail the train.
Read the title.
See my brain OCR said “Tooth Fairy Spiders” and I was like “Oh THAT makes sense but I’m feeling brave.” But ended up sort of confused. 😂
The universe answers in its own timeline. If the kid just sent an intent, it doesn’t mean it’ll happen right away. Hedging quantum physics (like wording it out to parents) adds probability
Wrong lesson, kid. Hide other people’s teeth under your pillow & keep telling your parents you lost another tooth. Infinite cash.
same with blood donations. The hard part is them stopping to ask questions about whose blood is in the bucket
