totally serious tooth fairy question - what do you say when your kid tells you their friend got more for their tooth?

Posted by Andie (aka Andie) Oct 28 '11, 09:41

i mean, some kid's parents are always going to be ridiculous and give their kids $10 or something. someone will always get more, so, how do you explain that?

(i'm really curious.)

- So you're telling your kids that their friends are poor or that their family doesn't love them as much? - Stephen Oct 28, 10:13 4

Something along the lines of "Not everything in life is fair, appreciate what you get." - Subversive Oct 28, 09:49 1
- this. i have a feeling this is something that will have to be repeated often, about many things. -- nm - kare Oct 28, 10:38
I always tell them it's me and that it's all we can afford. But that it's still a fun game, so I'll keep sneaking in to leave it. -- nm - landbeck Oct 28, 09:46
the other kid's fairy gets corporate sponsorship, while yours had to pull himself up by his bootstraps and do everything on his own. - znufrii Oct 28, 09:46
I've wondered the same about Santa. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 09:45 1
- santa i actually think is different (though still very hard). it's not so much apples to apples. -- nm - Andie Oct 28, 09:48
"your teeth aren't as good." -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 09:41 2
- hee. This could come from me but I'd be so doghouse. -- nm - bc/nc Oct 28, 09:56
- right? "if you brushed more and flossed every day, you would fetch the higher price." -- nm - Andie Oct 28, 09:42
