WTF is up with the Tooth Fairy?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) March 16th, 2010

These kids expect $5 for an Incisor?... X4? Canine’s going for $10? Premolars between $10—$20? WTF?

Just back from a gathering of parents where the subject came up… I can’t believe what these parents are paying out!

When I was a child (yes, I was a child), I got Loose Change. Just enough to buy some sugar straw pixie sticks. I’d have to save two teef worf of dough to land some candy cigarettes (thought I was somefin), but the big red wax candy lips were the biggest prize, and I had to take a loan out from Mom to get em’.

Little did I know the sugar would kill my adult teeth! Don’t get no cash for those… do ya?

Why do parents make the Tooth Fairy out to be such a Sugar Daddy these days? What’s a tooth worth in today’s market?
