Damn, I only got $5!

I got a quarter…and for some reason the tooth fairy never took my teeth….so I kept them in a little box….I’ll turn 67 next month….and still have my baby teeth! I guess MAGAts aren’t the only weirdos! 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂

And you didnt phone your wife to expose this transparent con?

“Gas costs more, tooth fairy had to cut back”

25¢ That’s what we got. Stupid Trump inflation.

$10 and $20??!! I used to get a quarter. I’m sorry dad but that is far to much

See, the Fed was right to hike interest rates. 🤣

When I was a kid, I got a tanner (for those old enough to remember).😎

You brought down inflation to pre-Biden levels quick go on CNN

Whatever you do, don’t ever let the tooth fairy leave a note. That is a slippery slope and you will find yourself in an elaborate web of lies. Just don’t go there.

I'm going back to discuss how much I got with the tooth fairy!

Did you explain that the $20 was a Tooth Fairy subscription introductory offer?

When my kids were young it was a dollar. Inflation is definitely out of hand

Tell her there’s a tariff on teeth.

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn

“Teeth with cavities get less *sideways look* have you been brushing your teeth properly?”

What happened to a quarter or even a dollar? Parents these days.

Thank you. I needed that!

Inflation is everywhere.

Tell her, “because of tariffs “

Tooth fairy inflation!

Tell her some poor children needed some money

😆😆😆

Inflation has really gotten out of hand.

tell her the Tooth Fairy had to buy gas

Heh. I got a quarter from the tooth fairy back in the early 60s. Inflation. Wow.

$20?!! I always left a neat stack of four quarters and a tiny scroll with a note in tiny writing😂

Hey - babysitting was $10 an hour in the 80s. Pretty much the same now. At least the Tooth fairy is a democrat.

Inflation is brutal.

This child of the 50s received a nickel or dime. Ten years later, brothers received quarters.

😂

Tell your daughter it's Biden's fault. 😈 The small brains always fall for it, that could also do the trick for kids, maybe.

At last, something we can't blame on emigrants, Ukraine, or #KingCorruption tRump. When I was a kid the tooth went in a glass with water and I might find 50-cents when I woke up. Life desperately needs the little funnies. 👍

🤣

Tell her the tooth fairy lost a bundle in crypto holdings and some bad bets on Polymarket, she'll understand.

Ten and twenty? Lawd I know inflation is bad but five bucks is very exciting for a tooth.

What ever happened to the quarter? I get inflation, but maybe a $5 bill for a child at the tooth-loosing age could still be appropriate?

My son got $20 on his first tooth. Then when he lost another I had no money on me except for $5. He woke up telling us the tooth fairy is cheap. 😂😂😂

So it's gone up from the 25 cents I got once? (It was usually 10 cents).

Geez; my kids got a quarter — around the turn of the century (most recent one). Has Trumpflation now inflated the price of a loose tooth? Or, is that Biden’s fault too?

I must be old. I remember getting a dime.

Leaving doubloons now are we? Fairies hate paper money, it works like a sail. Totally ruins their flight characteristics. Doesn't help that the asshole making fairy dresses doesn't believe in pockets.

"Big Fairy" is now a source of inflation in the economy...

Blame it on the trade war

The Invisible Hand with the Pliers

Bloody inflation. I used to get 20c. I prob would have pulled out all my teeth if it was $20 each

lol

Blame it on the tariffs placed on the tooth fairy

You’re just another cheapskate dad! LOL!

wow inflation hit the tooth fairy system...used to be no more than a $1 per tooth for me

That is "it's 2am and I don't have change" behavior 😂 Been there.

Losing teeth! I still picture Mia crawling around the corner in your videos.

I used to get a quarter.. inflation i guess..

I used to get a quarter.

Intra-marriage communication is important!

Toothflation was out of control until regulators stepped in to try and right the ship!

I need to make sure my kids never see this post. I don't want to explain why they only got loonie and toonie for their teeth. I did splurge with a sundae for their wisdom teeth.

“Shrinkflation sweetheart.”

I hope he told her different teeth have different rates.

🤣💙

4 quarters. that’s what the fairy used to leave us

In the 1960s we got a dime

Have you seen an inflation graph?

What??? I got 10 cents (purchasing power of 1.23 today)

$10?!? My kid gets a half dollar. Except the last tooth then the tooth fairy forgot to come - when she came the next night she left 2 half dollars to make up for it.

We got a quarter in the 1960s. I have had teeth pulled as an adult and my husband gives me ten dollars. 🤣

Both. It's an ongoing conversation better each of the kids and the tooth fairies. There are multiple of course (it was a necessary plot point when one of them noted the impossible mechanics of a single fairy servicing all children everywher).

We do "texts"

My goodness, zoom used to get 50p!

I remember getting 50 cents. But of course a candy bar was 5 cents

I’m a grandmother but had to be the “tooth mouse” (her Papa is French) recently and had to provide a “toonie” which is a $2 coin in Canada (about $1.50 USD). Perhaps tariff prices are having an impact at your house?

I hear you. My wife is Japanese and grew up without the tooth fairy, so when our son lost his first tooth, she shoved a LEGO set under his pillow.

Tooth fairy around here leaves $2 in gold dollars

sounds like you have a family meeting soon

We didn't get jack shit. Maybe that's part of our problem these days.

Mememememe!!!!!!!!

“But that was a molar honey. The tooth you lost was an incisor. Different teeth have different rates”. 😂

Joe Biden has affected the Tooth Fairy, dear.

I used to (I mean the TF used to) give my daughter $5. I giggled and made inflation jokes because I used to get a quarter. 🥰

❤️

I used to get a quarter

LOL, I've had trouble with the prices of everything since COVID. My wife just shakes her head and rolls her eyes.

Tariffs

$20 is going rate with inflation these days.

Good that she gets to learn early how inflation works.

😆

We decided to randomize it and tell them the tooth fairy is a little eccentric and doesn't really understand money as a concept

RFK jr cuts?

Eight years ago I was leaving silver dollars.

$10 seems to be over the top to me. We gave my son $3. And $5 for the last tooth he lost. Of course he's 23 now, so it was a while ago. 😉

Wow, I used to get a quarter!

lol. My dad lived to regret that too. Especially the year after Santa had given us kids cameras. My dad had a string of jingle bells, like the reindeer would have… flash bulbs went off at the first sound of bells…hahahaha

Children toothless pictures are the best ...take a lot ...they grow up so fast

It's almost always a 20 in my house because the tooth fairy doesn't know how to break bills.

Damn! The Tooth Fairy in Hawaii gave me a dime. Did she not understand the high cost of living there?

A QUARTER???? I got a dime.

We got more if my Dad tricked us into pulling that wobbly tooth out. It went like this, "let me have a look", "No, you'll pull it", "I will not, I promise", and you know what happened next.

We go with the brass Sacagawea $1 coins. Looks like pirate treasure. Does the trick every time.

Oooo, that’s a lot!

It’s inflation, Aaron! 🤣

Inflation hits all markets…including the tooth fairy.

When my boys were little I used to go to a coin shop and get old coins to put under their pillows. Many of them were silver. Some were just cool like an Eisenhower silver dollar. They kept them all. I'm kinda glad I did that now. Silver was less valuable then.

This seems like a great opportunity to discuss inflation....

Yikes, I remember a nickel under my pillow, if I as lucky!!😂

She typically would come out the next morning and not mention it. This was business between her and the tooth fairy, and it did not concern us.

Here’s a great story about uncovering the truth about the tooth fairy: www.thisamericanlife.org/kid-logic/pr...

I hope you blamed Trump and the cost of living.

Ha! I used to get a quarter. I don't know how that adjusts for inflation, but the kid might be right.

Aaron...inflation...the only thing to do is to put another 10 under the bed; then explain it fell as the Tooth Fairy floated away.

It wouldn’t be a lie!
