Tooth Gone! I didn't Do It!!!!

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>My son, who is a twin (sister) lost his very first tooth today! I'm excited for him but also concerned because he's only 4 (5 on&nbsp;March 31).</p><p>He was eating a sliced orange and it fell out. He came up to me with blood in his mouth and the tooth in hand crying because he was bleeding.</p><p>I'm so excited for him! We called my wife at work to tell her... He told her he wanted the tooth fairy to give him $100.00! I can only imagine what my daughters will ask for when&nbsp;they lose&nbsp;their first tooth.</p><p>Anyway, This was a first for me so I decided to share my excitement with all of you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

So what is the going rate for a tooth these days? I remember getting a dollar in 1974,&nbsp;and that was without the blood. Factor in the exchange rate, and &nbsp;I'm guessing&nbsp;lil ramrod has a twenty coming his way.&nbsp;

[angelinad128]

That is so great! I wouldn't worry about it being to young for that to have happened. My daughter is 9 and pretty much already has her adult teeth.

<p>congrats to you and your son. Why are you worried b/c hes 4? Is that too early to have lost his first tooth?</p>

[BoondockSaint]

$100?&nbsp; Holy shit!&nbsp; I think five was the tops I ever got.&nbsp;

[Gvac]

Relax, gang.&nbsp; That's $100 <em>Canadian, </em>which is about 5 bucks American.&nbsp; <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/bye.gif" border="0" />

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>Yeah snacks, I'm a bit worried cause it seems like he should be 6 or 7 before losing teeth. I guess each person is different.</p><p>When I was growing up I got anywhere from 75 cents to $1.50.</p><p>He's funny though, he's still walking around with a wet cloth in his mouth. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gvac, I did the conversion.... You were soooo Wrong. It's like $19.93</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(actually it's $84.76)</p>

[Drunky McBetidont]

<p>that should worth a looney and a twooney, imho.</p><p>tell him the tooth fairy is coming then show him the ren and stimpy tooth fairy episode. :)</p>

[cougarjake13]

most i ever got was 5 bucks

[Wallower]

You gotta keep the payoff low or you'll come home to find him with a fifth of jack and a pair of pliers.

[Chigworthy]

I would get two bucks in fifty cent pieces.&nbsp; It would be in an envelope under me pillow.&nbsp; How exciting that was, going to bed knowing you'd be rich in the morning.&nbsp; You can get anything by&nbsp;a kid.

[mikeyboy]

I remember one time that I had a tooth hanging by a thread, and my dad pulled it out for me.&nbsp; It hurt like hell so he gave me a little bit of scotch in a glass to swirl in my mouth to numb the area.&nbsp; I don't think you're allowed to do that anymore.

[Bob Impact]

Four isn't too young at all, I used to have kids at the daycare lose them at four and five years old all the time.

[Chigworthy]

You can't be serving scotch to kids at your daycare.&nbsp; You're gonna lose your license.

<font size="3">Give him one more silver dollar. That way he'll always have it.</font>

<p>He did eventually drop down from the hundred...he settled on 20.</p><p>Rammer Junior got 5 bucks...</p><p>Yes, it was a Twooney, Loonie and 8 quarters.</p>

[undressa]

<p>ok, I got 50 cents in the 80's but agree that I thought I could buy a house with it.</p><p>V</p>

[keithy_19]

I really thought you were going to say that your son left the tooth under the pillow and some other being took it who wasn't you. I was filled with suspense and this letdown hurts real good.

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>Wouldn't fly Mikey, The boy brushes everyday. If my wife or I forget; He remembers.</p><p>I'd probably confuse the poor gaffer and make him think he needed to brush until he bled.</p>

[Bellyfullasnot]

<p>That's cool.&nbsp; Does the tooth fairy in Canada wear a maple leaf or something?&nbsp; My 7 year old still has all his baby teeth. No signs of looseness yet.&nbsp; I'll buy oranges tomorrow.</p>

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>I haven't seen her but the rumour is that she drives a Zamboni, Wears a seal skin jacket and snowshoes. Her hobbies are building igloos for the less fortunate, curling and ice fishing on weekends.</p><p>She has a weakspot for beer and pancakes with Maple syrup.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>See, I had always thought kids lost teeth around the 7/8 year mark. His has been wiggling for a few weeks, we thought he fell when he was playing hockey and loosened it and it would eventually heal up.</p><p>He wants to play hockey on a team in the worst way, Now he looks the part.</p>

[Bellyfullasnot]

Might be hot if it's just a seal skin jacket and snow shoes.&nbsp; Maybe throw in a mounties hat.&nbsp; Kids hockey and dental insurance hand in hand?

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>Oh, it's not just the jacket and snowshoes. I left out that she wears an otter skin bikini (picture the irony in this one) with a beaver pelt covering her crotch.</p><p>Yeah, dental insurance and Hockey go hand in hand. I was on of the few that made it through junior hockey with a full set of originals. Hopefully he can too.</p>

[DJEvelEd]

<p>Get him a gold toof and a toof tattoo. </p><p>Maybe a hooker is in order too. (for you of course)</p>

[Bellyfullasnot]

Seal, otter, beaver.&nbsp; I'm Starving.&nbsp; We haven't done the hockey thing yet.&nbsp; So far we've explored baseball, soccer, basketball,and karate.&nbsp; I think baseball and karate are the keepers.&nbsp; I thought this would be the year of skiing and skates but it's been a mild winter so far.

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>So you're letting the kids pick the sports?</p><p>That's what we're doing. Hockey is a given for my son, maybe for my youngest daughter. We've done soccer for my son, that's done thank god and my other daughter is in ballet, which again is a keeper.</p><p>As it stands now, we got guarantees on</p><p>hockey</p><p>ballet</p><p>swimming</p><p>figure skating</p><p>and a good possibility of lacrosse.</p><p>It's scary to think that at the ages of 4/4/2 they are so into these activities and they might have 2 or more each. The costs will be astounding!</p><p>We haven't even done skiing yet!</p>

[Bellyfullasnot]

<p>The kids pick the sports with the promise that they'll finish that season.&nbsp; My friend has 2 girls and everything seems more expensive for them.&nbsp; I guess every dance recital requires a full make over (for the girls and mom) and new outfits.&nbsp; Karate is about a $100 a month (discounted if you pay a year in advance).&nbsp; Swim lessons aren't cheap but start early and they pick it up real quick.</p><p>My youngest will be up in a couple of hours so I'm login out.&nbsp; Good night.&nbsp; </p>
