The fey only bargain, they do not take. Not even from the dead.
The Tooth Fairy wants fresh teeth.
For stem cells.
I thought it was for the latest PlayStation?
I like Pratchett’s take. The Tooth Fairy of the Discworld takes the baby teeth and hides them in his domain because pieces of a person can be used for sympathetic magic, like cursing someone, and he wants to protect the kids from that.
What’s to say that they don’t? And they’re just greedy for teeth.
Just say they’re banned from graveyards, because they pulled that shit all the time without burying them again. You need to stay consistent and plausible with those lies. 😉
I like this response, but now I’m wondering what the beaver question was…
Honestly, this is a golden teachable moment in critical thinking. Jr here is starting to ponder the implausibility of a myth. Encourage more thought, guide away from magical thinking, answer their questions honestly, and reward them for arriving at better answers. Then follow up with a big reward as they’ll probably feel a tad disillusioned when it’s all over.
Because they don’t have shovels obviously.
Just pliers.
Then I will leave a shovel under my pillow.
Something, something, fresh teeth.
Fully unironically. “Brush your teeth or the Fairy won’t pay top dollar for them”
…question about beavers?
Edit: just scrolled and seen your other post lol
War criminal tooth fairies did that, in the second world war, for gold teeth.
The people are only dead because they refused to keep giving the Tooth Fairy their teeth, so (s)he killed them but will honor their wish in death.
It’s illegal and they don’t want to deal with Anubis.
This is why we put bodies in boxes!
How do people think tooth fairy makes money?
By collecting gold tooths of the dead of course.
