in an unusual move the tooth fairy sent me a instant message asking me to pick up some sacagawea dollar coins and two dollar bills. said she knew she was stopping off at our house and didn’t have time to get to the bank and wanted to know if we’d spot her some.

sure. why not? i mean, i’m sure she’s good for it, right?

relatedly, informal polling and web searching has yielded interesting answrss to the question, “how much does the tooth fairy pay?” this article closely mirrors my personal poll results. high rolling tooth fairies pay $5 for the first tooth and $3 thereafter. tooth fairies “from the block” one or two bucks for the first tooth and fifty cents to a dollar for the rest.
