DD has written a letter to the toothfairy - does the toothfairy answer letters?

[Earlybird]

If she answers letters, what sort of replies would the toothfairy give:

1. What is your name?
2. Where do you live?
3. What is your favourite colour?
4. What is your favourite animal?
5. How old are you?
6. How tall are you?

Presumably a letter from the toothfairy might be sprinkled with some fairy dust? Any other easy and non time consuming things the toothfairy might do? Or is she too busy collecting teeth/leaving money to stop and respond to individual letters?

Thanks Cali - will read and post after I've had time to ponder. First thought is that perhaps 'she'll' put a splodge of fairy dust on the letter, but not answer specific questions because it could become an ongoing 'correspondence'.

Back in a few minutes....have just realised my next door neighbour's house is filled with teenagers. The dad stopped to chat yesterday and told me they were going out of town this weekend. Looks like someone has decided to have a party..... I'm off to twitch some curtains.

What have my Saturday nights become??

The tooth fairy has been busily writing a letter to dd. Should she request that dd keep the letter private and not show it to anyone??

Also, the tooth fairy has said she can't write a letter every time because otherwise she won't have time to collect all the teeth before the sun comes up! (It's the only emoticon with teeth!)

lol @ this thread.

How lovely.

they don't go to school so they don't write letters but they sometimes leave a feather or a rose petal or some other such thing

Alright - tooth fairy letter writing mission completed, with letter/money under pillow. Will report back.

And Cali, special thanks for all your googling and archive searches - an invaluable help. I'm never much good late at night, so you saved me....

Thought I'd update to say that dd was thrilled to find the letter from the tooth fairy under her pillow. We read it together, and then she put it on her bedside table....and hasn't looked at it since.

There's a lesson in parenthood there - spend an hour thinking/preparing/doing, and it holds their attention for 3 minutes!

Surely the tooth fairy doesn't have time to write letters, she has to fly around the world every night collecting teeth. I think if she had to carry thousands of pieces of paper, dust etc it will slow her down. The money should be enough.

Santa sent my ds a letter a few years ago, he's talked about it every year and tells his friends he knows santa exists because we did't have a gold pen to write it with. He'll never forgive me will he?

I've the tooth fairy has left DD a couple of letters in response to notes left by DD.

I the tooth fairy types them on the laptop and then prints it out in a tiny type face

DD also has a book about the toothfairy so she gets referred back to that quite often if she starts asking too many questions -it saves having to think up creative answers for all those questions about where the fairies live, what they do with the teeth etc

'Our' tooth fairy was clever, and said she'd probably only be able to write the one time as she had lots to do each night before the sun came up!

this is cool

My Dc's get little notes from the tooth fairy and Santa and Santa's Elf etc...
Ds got a telling off from toothfairy last month, told him that the Queen would not accept these teeth for gold dipping and that he needs to clean his teeth better! He got the hump!

Last year, he wiggled a tooth out earlier than it should've come out and I didn't have a £1 in my purse, so I left a note saying that ' I was flying from Se Gn to B*** when I got the call saying that you'd lost your tooth, but your tooth was not scheduled to come out until Thursday, therefore I do not have a gold coin available for you today, you will have to wait an extra day for it and please don't do it again...' He was chuffed!

my DS was worried cos he was on a sleepover with a wobbly tooth, our tooth fairy send a text sorted

Mine always used to say that the toothfairy was very pleased with the tooth and to make sure that they kept cleaning them as it made it so much easier to give it to another child. The child getting the tooth was always mentioned - usually a very small child that my DC's knew.

The teethfairy always correlated to their flower fairy - so DD's (june birthday) was Rosie and DS's (march birthday) was Daffy.

The letter always ended as 'I'm giving you so much more than the going rate because you clean your teeth so beautifully' cueing lots of frentic teeth cleaning by the DCs

I'm very sad that they don;t believe any more as writing all those letters was such a creative outlet for me

Everybody writes letters in our family - the tooth fairy, father christmas, the easter bunny.........dp does it!

Best was when dd lost her tooth. She wrote a letter explaining, the tooth fairy left a "lost tooth" form to be completed, she filled it in but missed a bit out. The tooth fairy left another form the next night to cover the missing bit. Who'd have thought it was such a bureaucratic system!
