Tooth Fairies and the Economy: A Lesson From This Kid

As I arrive to tutor…

Kid: “Look, Emily! I lost a tooth!”
Me: “Oh you sure did! Did the tooth fairy come yet?”
Kid: “Yup! I got $40!”
Me: “What?! Gee, the tooth fairy didn’t give out NEARLY that amount when I was your age.”
Kid (dead serious): “Well, you know…inflation.”

  1. Raquel’s first tooth fell out today.
    Very excited she said to me with a very serious face. Like the most normal thing.Mom send the tooth fairy a what’s up message so she knows that she has to come and take the tooth.
    my daughter is very modern. No what’s up message in my time

    1. Hahah I once heard a parent in my class say to their kid, “The tooth fairy texted to say she’s poor this year, so don’t get excited.”
