the thing with tooth fairy is it isnt a reward. all that happens is your tooth, comes loose you dont actually need to DO anything to merit it, the tooth will come out anyway. Its like losing hair.
I would love the hair fairy to pay me each time I lose one. lol
I think there also ought to be a payment that girls get a every time of the month for cleaning their womb.

No, it is not acceptable for children to eat lots of lollies or candy just because they will lose their teeth. Indeed, industrial products based on sugar damage not only teeth but and the whole body as a whole. Subsequently, you may encounter excess weight problems, diabetes, and others. It is critical early years old to follow the state of your child's teeth. Unfortunately, my parents did not care at once, and I had to snatch curves and bad teeth to put implants. I suffered a lot of years because of an ugly smile.
I was looking up faries on my bible program and the dictionary defined fairies as demons.
I neighbour once dropped an ornament in my letterbox he meant it as a gift for me it was of a fairy and I just had a bad reaction to it like I just knew I had to return it back to him or get rid of it, not keep it.
I told him what was this for I didnt want it or ask for it and he said he got it from op shop if I dont want it chuck in the bin so thats what I did.
I am a bit weirded out by comic book plastic figurines...and people who collect them.
I can kind of handle Lego but I am disturbed by the way their heads can just pull off. Also the bricks kind of remind me of loose teeth.
When my first son came, i was not going to do the Santa thing because I didn't want him to grow up thinking i lied to him and all, but then my sister-in-law treated me like i was the biggest idiot in the world, and i caved. It doesn't seem like it hurt him much. I don't feel like it hurt me, except in that moment that i found out the truth. My older brother was like, "you didn't know mom and dad did that? I knew that when I was 5!!" Anyhow, now my 9 year old is really sweet and innocent and loves all of the fantasies. I saw this thing on Facebook i really liked, though. It's long, but here ya go.
ATTENTION TO ALL PARENTS WHO NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SANTA
Son: "Dad, I think I'm old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?."
Dad: "Ok, I agree that your old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can't unknow it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know?"
Brief pause...
Son: "Yes, I want to know"
Dad: "Ok, I'll tell you: Yes there is a Santa Claus"
Son: "Really?"
Dad: Yes, really, but he's not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That's just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he's not a person at all; he's an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. I actually bought those myself. I watched you open them. And did it bother me that you didn't thank me? Of course not! In fact it gave me great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement.
When I saw that woman collapse on the subway last week and called for help, I knew that she'd never know that it was me that summoned the ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that."
Son: "Oh."
Dad: "So now that you know, you're part of it. You have to be Santa Claus too now. That means you can never tell a young kid the secret, and you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help people. Got it?"

I've been afraid of dolls since my brother told me a horror story about them coming to life and killing their owners when I was about seven. He said he heard the story on Ripley's Believe it or Not! So of course it was true. I made my mom lock up all my dolls. I'm not scared any more, though, just creeped out. But I do have my very first Cabbage Patch Kid. Her name is Lucy. It's the only one my mom actually kept.
Pretty sure it's just so they won't be as afraid to lose the tooth, especially if it takes some pulling. When I had to have a series of allergy tests as a kid, my mom offered me a cabbage patch kid if I'd stop freaking out about it. Maybe it's just for fun, though.
And another thing, it's ridiculous to give kids candy because they're going to lose those teeth. It still affects the incoming teeth.
I never really told my daughter about Santa. One day, she was about 5 years old or so, asked me if there was Santa. Instead of answering her question I posed another question to her. I asked if she believed in the Easter Bunny. She thought for a few seconds, shook her head, and said "No". For the record though, I have nothing against parents telling their children about Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, or even Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin for that matter. Let the kids have a little fun during the holidays. No need to be a Scrooge. I enjoyed your dialog between Dad and Son very much.When my first son came, i was not going to do the Santa thing because I didn't want him to grow up thinking i lied to him and all, but then my sister-in-law treated me like i was the biggest idiot in the world, and i caved.

I was only 13 years old, when my mother told me their was no Santa clause, so did you lie saying there is one or did my mother lie saying their isn't one???When my first son came, i was not going to do the Santa thing because I didn't want him to grow up thinking i lied to him and all, but then my sister-in-law treated me like i was the biggest idiot in the world, and i caved.

That's funny. I suppose that you can make a big deal of the tooth fairy, or Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny or anything like that. With the teeth, well, baby teeth fall out anyway. Some parents save more stuff from their children's youth than others do, I don't know about the nickel or the quarter, I just have absolutely no idea whatsoever where that came from. As far a lollypops go, well yeah, too many sugary treats are bad for you. But like I said, baby teeth fall out anyway.
Come to think of it, the term or name Santa Clause is probably some kind of old world or Catholic thing. It's related to Christmas, and you could be saying, "oh, so you're a Christian believer? Really, well who's the saint?" And saint might just mean, who in people got you convinced of that, because at the end of the day, Christianity is really very much a people's religion, a really big major point of order in Christendom is that Jesus was also a human being.
Saint Nicholas was a real person, and he's where Santa Claus came from. This is from the National Catholic Register:
Saint Nicholas’s compassion for the poor, marginalized and, in particular, children, and especially providing aid anonymously to those in greatest need, became so legendary that it never faded over the centuries, but inspired others, and was imitated especially around Christmas in many countries.
He got to be Santa Claus thanks to a corruption of the Dutch way of referring to him as “Sinterklaas.” The Dutch brought “Sinterklaas” with them to North America in 1621 when they founded New Amsterdam on the tip of Manhattan. English speaking settlers later corrupted the name, which evolved into “Santa Claus.”
Roman Catholicism has feast days to remember saints. St. Nicholas' falls in December.
