As a child, I used to believe that #1 'There is a tooth fairy'

Today, one of my nephews lost his first tooth. My cousin sister told me this over the phone and she also said that she asked him to place that tooth under his pillow, so that tooth fairy can give him a silver coin at night. When we were kids, we were told the same story and I actually believed in the story. In India, traditionally, we didn't have any folklore as such. This actually started when a neighbor told this story to her son and he got excited and our parents also told the same story to us and now it is popular in some households, here as well. Did you ever hear of this story and believe in it? Picture taken from google images.

Very nice All the boys wait to visit their tooth fairy when they lose their age Forget the joy of the children when every child puts his age under his office to visit the fairy teeth and replace it with a gift or a small amount of money

we throw our tooth on the roof, so the mouse will take it and replace it with a nice and strong one. That's our belief

@Sheali It's not popular here in Europe, it's an American thing.

@Sheali The Tooth fairy is a very popular story here. I was told the same thing when I was little and I did believe in it. It was very exciting to think about a little fairy taking my teeth and giving me money instead. Now as an adult it just sounds weird lol
