Going Rate for Teeth?



My little boy is growing up so fast! One day when we were in Montana, Mom and I were upstairs painting and Little D was downstairs eating toast. All of the sudden we hear a scream and crying from Little D. Figuring that he just bit his tongue we were not too worried. Aunt S was down there to comfort him. Then we heard her say "Let me see...tooth is loose". I was thinking ... no way he is barely 5! Then Aunt S confirmed and I was like No Way! so I ran downstairs and sure enough there he was with a bloody mouth and one loose tooth. I quickly re-explained the Tooth Fairy. After what happened with his cousin Commander C, I didn't want him to be frightened. The next day we went to a BBQ and he was eating watermelon and came up to me with his tooth in his hand! He had no tears just surprise. Big J was making fun of me saying that I was gonna cry. But its hard to come to terms with. So we told him to wait until we were back home to put it under his pillow. So Sunday I went around inquiring about the price for teeth these days, not only teeth but first teeth. I figured that the quarter that I got wasn't going to be sufficient in today's world. Well he finally got to put it under his pillow and the Tooth Fairy came! Above is a picture of what the Tooth Fairy brought. Although it seems like a lot we learned that you can't buy anything for 5 dollars these days either!
