Tuesday Morning Other Stuff (6-24-08)

QOTD: 4th or 5th grade because I caught my Dad putting the money under for the tooth. After that, my world was rocked. No more Easter Bunny, no more Santa.

QOTD - can't remember the age, but my sister directed me to where the gifts were kept - that ruined it for me then

QOTD: found out the same way when my dad came in to take the tooth and i woke up. i quickly put 2 and 2 together and realized my life was based on lies. Lies I tell ya!

Whenever I lost a tooth, my mom said it would be safer to put my tooth on my desk in my room instead of under my pillow. I never thought about it until just now, but I guess she knew I'd wake up if it was under my pillow.

Parents are sneaky.

QOTD: I stopped believing in that stuff by around 8-9, I think.

My daughter has two of her front bottom teeth loose (seem like they been loose for the longest!) we're just waiting for them to fall out so we can do the tooth fairy thing.

QOTD: I don't know how long I really believed in the tooth fairy. Inflation has really set in. I got a quarter for a lost tooth, every single younger kid I've ever talked to gets at least a dollar, up to ten.

Santa didn't last long at all. When I was four, I had the idea to stay up and watch for santa. But then when my mom and dad told me to go to bed, I just played in my room for a little bit, then went back into the living room (from the setup of my house, it was possible to go into a spot they could not see me) and watched them put presents under the tree. I didn't go tell everybody because when I asked my parents they told me if I told my sister (who was 4 years older) I would get grounded.

Like everyone around 7-9 I think....eventually you find Christmas gifts in a closet from "Santa" and you ask questions...I didn't buy "Oh, we're helping Santa out, he's got such a busy job!"

QOTD; being a cynical SOB started early for me - 5.
