And probably any other bits, like nail parings, old skin, scabs etc. if there were fairies for such things. Except for one youngster I knew who wailed when he cut himself: he did not realise that the body makes new blood, so he thought that any he lost would be lost for ever and make him die young!swefflinghttp://sweffling.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-66863298162784839822013-05-16T17:46:49.100+10:002013-05-16T17:46:49.100+10:00My daughter is hanging on to her lastest tooth (on...My daughter is hanging on to her lastest tooth (one that has fallen out), for when she "is short of money", and will cash it in then with the Fairy.

I don't remember all the details, but the Tooth Fairy apparently used all the teeth to make up a special playground - who for??? No idea!!! But he was most excited to have his teeth finally become part of the playground. We even had to explain that the NZ Tooth Fairy (picked up on a cruise ship - with $1 NZ), had been returned to his own Tooth Fairy so that they could all go into the playground together. Guessing it's a bit late for that now though :(Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035359686891598881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-11076515749284421782013-05-13T13:04:34.698+10:002013-05-13T13:04:34.698+10:00Bless his heart.

When they finally did lose a tooth naturally they were disgusted with the 1$ coin in the bottom of the glass and promptly declared they tooth fairy a cheapskate who would never again get their teeth... though the embargo didn't last long, $1 was still better than nothing. katepicklehttp://www.picklebums.comnoreply@blogger.com
