My child lost their first tooth today.
I (being clever) got them to put it in an envelope under their pillow ready for the tooth fairy.
The tooth fairy tells me the envelope was empty but they left £2 anyway. Hopefully this is standard procedure. XD

My daughter lost her first tooth at age six. The next morning, I went in to wake her up and she found her $5 under the pillow, at which point she looked me directly in the eyes and asked, “Mom, are you the tooth fairy?” Uhhh…… I think I gave her the standard cop-out parental response (“What do you think?”) but the cat was out of the bag.
When I was about seven I lost a tooth and decided to do a test. I didn’t tell anyone and still put it under my pillow. Needless to say I was double sad the next day. I had proof that the tooth fairy was a lie and I was down a dollar.
My son did this, but he’s also the most chill kid and just kind of mentioned it the next day. He seemed pleased that he had figured it out, so I hope he wasn’t hiding true disappointment!
The tooth fairy doesn’t just show up, obviously your adults need to call in a tooth fairy pickup or she’ll never know to stop by! Hers is among the scrappier mythological operations, she doesn’t have the big-budget infrastructure of your Santa Claus types.
My six year old is a major skeptic of things like the tooth fairy, Santa, etc. stated when he lost his first tooth “I don’t believe in the tooth fairy but I still get money, right?”
Classic! The funny thing is, my daughter is not much of a skeptic, so I was kind of blown away! However, I do think she is extremely emotionally perceptive. My son is definitely more of the skeptic and would definitely say something like yours, lol.
Mine has already suggested the tooth fairy is a myth. I think I said “people believe all sorts of things”. 😅
