Modern Monetary Theory

First we had ‘Pennies from Heaven’
         Then it was the ‘March of Dimes’
  
       Now the Tooth Fairy leaves five dollars
         Inflation improves life over time

Five dollars! I have a loose tooth right now. What is your tooth fairy's address?

You may want to stay closer to home for a Tooth Fairy. National Average is $5.36. My tooth fairy rounded it off to $5. ~ Cheap Skate

Oh the tooth fairy story was carried a bit far by some acquaintances we had, they had two children and they had grandparents but I was told of every tooth they lost and guess who felt obliged to become tooth fairy number two. Thank goodness they have grown out of the losing tooth stage but the relationship began to get rocky, until one day it abruptly stopped. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.
