Question: When do you tell your child the truth about the tooth fairy? Laila lost another tooth, I didn't steal any money out of her piggy bank like I had to do a few tooth's back but I had to scrap up $3 and another $4 in quarters wrapped it up tightly and placed in a ziploc snack bag 🤦🏾‍♀️ because she was talking about the tooth fairy was coming last night. I hope that is enough, cause I don't carry cash and last time her uncle gave her about $20 bucks 😩
