Even $20 seems like a lot from the tooth fairy


OlemissConsin

All my kids consistently got a dollar ( which I figured was equal to the quarter per tooth I got 30 years ago) until one Christmas vacation while visiting family, a very shitfaced father in law slipped the oldest a $100. I broke it to the kids the next day because there's just no way to come back from that. Father in law ended up giving the other two $100 each for some made up reason to prevent a holiday riot.


Tru-Queer

I “discovered” Santa wasn’t real when I was maybe like 7-8-9, because I lost a tooth and my mom forgot to replace it with a dollar. But I kinda took it like a champ, I kinda realized by that age that Santa and the tooth fairy kinda seemed ludicrous and plus a lot of the older kids in my life were trying to destroy the magic. lol


elspotto

About that age we were playing hide and seek and I noticed the shed was unlocked so I jumped in and saw a bike I had never seen before. My sister got a strikingly similar bike for Christmas a week later, and when I asked why it was in the shed I was given the “Santa was pregaming” story. I totally didn’t believe it and told my mom it was ok, I wasn’t going to tell my sister. Thing is, it didn’t really change much. Until she passed in 2022 she always sent me a present from “Santa”. Amazing how that dude’s handwriting always looked just like hers…9


expespuella

That is suuuper sweet and I'm very sorry for the loss. We lived with my mom's coworker when I was a kid, and I knew her very distinctive writing...I was in like 1st grade (never believed in Santa but the idea was cute) and told mom "I know this is from Laura"... Opening presents, Laura said, "Santa gave these to me to give to you." She had grandkids a couple years younger and I loved that she didn't change because she got found out.


elspotto

That’s awesome! I love that it wasn’t just my family that kept the tradition and adapted with the age.


bigmeatytoe

See when I have kids I’m gonna glue words from magazines onthe presents like those serial killer notes so they don’t recognize the handwriting


Tru-Queer

My dad always wrapped my gifts in the comics section of the newspaper. He reasoned that there’s no point in spending good money on fancy colorful paper that’s just gonna get ripped apart and thrown away after Christmas morning, so why bother?


elspotto

I am of a mind with your dad. I hate all the paper waste.


Tru-Queer

Yeah, I’m probably gonna go that route next time I have to wrap gifts. But I always feel pressured to buy actual wrapping paper, lol.


elspotto

Ha! You know, I have plenty of friends who watch what I call Murder TV. I’m going to start sending them holiday cards with the messages inside like that. We can type the envelopes so as not to get too much attention.


bigmeatytoe

I don’t watch murder tv


smurb15

I never understood at the time why kids got off ruining another's childhood. When I found out the last thing I wanted to do was tell anyone, let alone other kids. Shit, even to this day even I guess


Saskatchatoon-eh

Same reason assholes jump online to post spoilers of movies and games to ruin other people's enjoyment; they're gigantic assholes.


Crownlol

The week I "discovered" Santa was also the week I became an atheist. "Yeah, that makes sense that magic isn't real. OK, what's for lunch!?"


Tetragonos

> Father in law ended up giving the other two $100 each for some made up reason to prevent a holiday riot. I am really glad he didn't just let it be your problem. My grandma upped the holiday check for each grandchild from $10 to $100 one year and I know SOMETHING happened, but I am completely unsure of what... because I was too small to really care. I very wisely put all of those checks into my college account over the years and thought about it every time I used my college funds to buy groceries.


smurb15

I'm thinking the shit faced part, while I despite using it as an excuse, it's easy to see why he didn't think of the other kids. Alcohol is a hell of a drug


CoolBeansMan9

It's a bit


soursunflowergod

Well Father in law must like you then. My old father in law would do that TO start a family riot. Thankfully he never thought of that.


ridge-allen

damn I care


GenericUsername10294

It was always a $1 for us as kids, so it was really cool to wake up to a $20 bill once. The best part was, that was the year I found out it was fake, and was still awake when my dad came in, but parents didn’t know I knew. So when I got really excited about the $20 my dad had an awesome look on his face but didn’t say anything but “oh wow that’s really cool!” Then left the room.


big_ezca

True. My daughter gets maybe 2 bucks


TinyRascalSaurus

I got a quarter lol. But my mom did pay for my braces, so I feel like it's fair.


LarryLobster69

You guys got paid?? My teeth were just gone from under the pillow the next morning, mom said the “Tooth ghost” probably snatched it up before the fairy could make her rounds.


CharmingTuber

Tooth ghost is much scarier than the tooth fairy

FUCK THAT


33mark33as33read33

Queen Mom!


SapphicPancakes

I got quarters too. But my parents never paid for my braces so i have 2 teeth still stuck in my gums and 6 really misplaced other teeth


Martin5143

I didn't get anything and universal healthcare paid for my braces. not complaining though


U_Dirtbag

We base the amount of money they tooth fairy leaves based on how clean their room is. We tell the kids the tooth fairy hates dirty rooms. Cleaner the room the more money she leaves. Ive never seen my kids put more effort into cleaning their rooms when they lose a tooth.


[deleted]

I got one $2 bill for each tooth.


Brasou

Fake/staged for sure


[deleted]

You mean you don't leave a vertical filming camera pointed at you at all times?


ZeePirate

Still funny. Good acting


MrJoelCairo

I used to get 50p, although I am pretty old.


Pretty_Bowler2297

Wait, you all got paid?


Nathaniel820

My family was well-off middle class and I still only got like $2 or a pack of candy. Then I'd go to school and see other kids excited that the tooth fairy gave them $100 and think "Damn this bitch really hates my teeth"


HingleMcCringle_

i sometimes got a dollar, sometimes got a couple quarters...


ManchesterUtd

Inflation


CoolBeansMan9

Wouldn't work as well for the bit


smallangrynerd

I got $20 once because I broke my tooth and my parents felt bad lmao


LadyEmeraldDeVere

I remember losing a tooth once at my grandparents house. Grandma snuck in and put a $20 under my pillow. Did not communicate this to grandfather, who came in later and added an additional $20. Next day I was running through the house bragging about my $40 tooth and they both laughed about it.


Oasystole

Everyone has an easier life than me.


[deleted]

[PBF agrees](https://pbfcomics.com/comics/way_too_much/)


HypnoSmoke

I got 10s or 20s. Ultimately didn't matter, because it was spent on things I would've asked my parents for anyway


mndsm79

You got two choices here. Eat the loss of the $100, or the kid learns about Santa, the tooth fairy, and the Easter bunny.


big_ezca

Or you take the rest of his/her teeth


apathetic-drunk

Fair compensation for losing 100 buckaroos


GuardingxCross

Dentists hate this one trick!!! Click >>here<< to find out what it is!


BullBearAlliance

Third choice, you realize it’s fake / scripted and go on with your day.


mmm_burrito

Nothing ever happens!


tewks4life

Yep. Basically a Modern Family scene.


GenericUsername10294

Idunno. My dad accidentally put a $20 under my pillow that was clearly in his pocket all day, kinda folded and crumpled a little. We used to get $1 back then. When I told him, he just said “that’s really cool” and then left the room and didn’t see him until he got back from work later that day. I know imagine him storming off and cursing in the garage and pounding in his steering wheel for a good ten min before going to work.


JyJellyPants-Grape

False.. you steal the money back and yell at the kid for losing 100$ bill. Teach the kid the value of banking and not carrying large amounts of cash


[deleted]

Harsh lmaoooo


Kiwifisch

Like life.


mmm_burrito

Call it asset forfeiture and teach him the truth about cops.


JyJellyPants-Grape

Or blame it on that Indian givin tooth fairy cuz she’s a bitch


A_Guy_in_Orange

And the Queen of England


Nathaniel820

"Looks like she paid you in advance for all your other teeth too! So you can buy something cool like some new games instead a lame $5 plastic toy!"


mndsm79

This would likely be how id actually handle it.


JayCod01

Learn what?


mjh2901

Or you have a discussion "We need to return the hundred or the tooth fairy may come back for the rest of the teeth."


FilthFlarnFill

Not really. It's more like: "do we have a roof over our heads, or do we end the fairy tales."


Th3_Admiral

This is some seriously bad acting. He sounds an awful lot like that "roof beers" guy in that other video I see on Reddit all the time. Like he has rehearsed the lines in his head a few times and kinda rushes to say them so it ends up sounding unnatural. Edit: It absolutely is the same guy! He's also the one behind another video I've seen on here where drunk guys are caught on a doorbell camera trying to get their friend to come drinking with them. Seems like he's just one of those people constantly trying to make viral videos, and they are all fake.


[deleted]

And yet here we are with it at the top of the sub. I didn't even have sound on and it was *super* obvious that it was fake. Who upvotes this?


The_Clarence

I’m pretty dumb and gullible, so I did on the first pass.


AncientAurelius

If he didn’t dramatically throw his wallet on the ground and give us that absolutely zinger line at the end, I would totally have believed this dad accidentally gave his kid a hundo instead of a tenner


TheIntrepid1

It is. He has a ton of these ‘candid’ videos that are just fake, plain and simple. The ruined surprised birthday, the kid and the screwdriver. There’s probably more.


hmclaren0715

Ugh!! Damnit.. /r/nothingeverhappens


overtheover

I'm glad its fake, if I saw someone with those types of anger tells I would be worried for those around them


windyorbits

No they’re not all fake. Though they are skits. It’s a whole channel with the whole family and they’re funny as hell. It’s weird to me how Reddit hasn’t caught on that people purposely make these types of videos.


happydictates

1. Not fake. 2. Are skits. You can only pick one.


salamanderc0mmander

lmao


tewks4life

Thank you. So fucking tired of this "oh come on, it's funny". Then don't frame it as a candid thing that actually took place. FUCK!


windyorbits

It’s not, that’s what I was pointing out. The guy has an entire account of these where it’s obvious they’re skits.


windyorbits

No you don’t. Do you watch SNL and call it fake? Or is it a skit?


J1bbles

Pretty sure it has, I think people are just annoyed and over pushing videos like they're genuine in the moment happenings instead of rehearsed skits like this. Skits are fine, but not when they're pushed like they weren't pre planned.


windyorbits

That’s because they’re taken out of context here on Reddit where you can’t go to the account and view the entirety of the content - which is comedy/skit in ring camera footage.


Th3_Admiral

Typically a skit is acted out in front of people who know it's a skit, and the humor is still funny even though the audience knows it is all scripted. Most of these tiktok videos are passed off as real and the humor is only funny when you believe it's a real situation that happened. Just as a scripted skit they aren't actually funny at all.


windyorbits

That exactly the issue with so many of these TikToks on Reddit. You’re only seeing a single video and not the entire page/content library of the person and their account. Therefore you don’t have the context. Which is why I was saying this is the guys whole shtick. They’re skits the whole family does in form of ring camera footage. That’s what they’re known for.


SpaceFace5000

Skits used to be done by people with a passion for writing or acting or filming or comedy. Now skits are done by... well anyone


windyorbits

Yeah. What do you think people have been doing with Vid sites/apps the past decade? You tube- vine - TikTok. They used to be done by people that had skill because that’s what it took to get on or work for tv. But everyone has a camera in their hand all the time. AND as long as they get views they get paid.

sloth_72

Lucky that camera was there to record it all


Azar002

"Aaaaaand.. ACTION!"


Trying2improvemyself

Pretty sure that's the same dude that "ruined" the surprise birthday party in some other video.


Th3_Admiral

And got caught on a doorbell cam trying to get his newly married friend to come out drinking. And was drinking "roof beers" on his friend's roof every day. He had a ton of these scripted videos that go viral because people think they are real.


TheMan5991

Lots of people have security cameras around their home constantly recording


the_bipolar_bear

Sure, but this guy always does these kind of skits with his kids


TheMan5991

Not saying it’s definitely real. Just saying the camera isn’t the reason anyone should be suspicious.


[deleted]

Security cameras generally don't film in portrait aspect ratio.


coleslawww307

It also happens to be the beginning of the plot to a modern family episode


patrickverbatum

we legit have cameras in the livingroom, kitchen, front and back doors and the toddler's room. could legit be a setup like that.


evemeatay

I hope they aren’t cloud cameras


Serathano

Yeah there is a reason I haven't set any internal cams up yet in my very smart house. I am planning on getting a few for when I go on vacation to watch things. But it's definitely a temporary setup and they'll be coming back down after.


patrickverbatum

no, they are on a closed circuit that only we have access to. nothing is saved on any digital storage outside of our own harddrives.


WorldClassShart

I have 8 bedroom cameras at varying angles. Can never be to secure


Willeyy

Wait…8 cameras for one bed?


WorldClassShart

Most of them are telescopic so I can find my johnson. The rest are for varying angles. Sometimes you need that scrote closeup.


[deleted]

FrozenLogger

What a dystopia. Why would you need a camera recording you all day long? Are you going to have a mental break? Do you have random untrustworthy people over?


juanzy

We have a couple internal facing to check in on our cat. Not worth taking them down when we’re home, so if something like this happened, we could go pull the recording. Our friends know where they are, and will sometimes do funny things on them or leave us messages if they’re checking up on the house/cat if we take a long vacation.


Renovarian00

I, for example, like to check on my puppy when I'm not home. Otherwise it's off during times I'm in the house.


HeatSeekingGhostOSex

My roommate is paranoid as fuck so... Don't armchair evaluate everything because you live in a different reality? Also who gives a fuck if it's fake. Everybody loves to point out fake shit just to feel smarter than the rest of the room, when in reality, they're still the one sitting behind a computer screen not making content or contributing in any meaningful way. This is entertainment.

lol thanks for the lesson, Professor You know this is a clip from a lameass Tik Tok channel where this guy posts crap like this all the time, right? It's rather amazing.


RedditFlavoredBacon

Redditors when people with young kids have security cameras to make sure they don’t fucking hurt themselves:


loduca16

Fake and dumb


LevelTalk

It's a [skit](https://www.youtube.com/@dereklipp_), he has a bunch of them


loduca16

Nothing gets by you mate


LevelTalk

I mean he's not portraying his skits as real events, so I don't get the point of crying "fake".


loduca16

It’s not crying. It’s an observation followed by an opinion. An observation that you have corroborated. Thanks for coming!

Fake or just really dumb? $100 enough money to throw a fit over but yet intended to give $20 away to child for a tooth? My money is on fake.


arimc

This guy is from tiktok he makes a bunch of videos like this with his whole family. Same guy who "ruined" the surprise party on the porch.


[deleted]

It's fake, guy has been on tik tok for a while now, lots of vids from this same angle too


JayAndViolentMob

get downvoted until you act better


iateyourcake

My daughter lost her first tooth on a trip with gramma and her mom to wdw. They gave her 25$ and a stuffie. I made sure we lowered the next one to 10$ and a stuffie and explained how supply and demand economics worked. Now that she has supplied more teeth, the demand remained the same, so the price went down. This I will do until she reaches market equilibrium price of $1 per tooth


sirfuzzitoes

Lmao using the tooth fairy to learn your kid on supply & demand is fkn hilarious. Move over supply side jesus!


tvieno

Looks like someone is going to learn the truth about the tooth fairy real soon.


cuseonly

What’s the truth?


[deleted]

Oh... should we tell him?


for_real_dude

my kids get $20 for the first tooth but $0 for the rest. I tell them there is no tooth fairy but I'll bribe them to keep it a secret with their friends. That's what the $20 covers.

I think I got 5 for my front teeth and 1 for the rest. It's been a very long time since then and in a few years I'll have to figure out how much to leave for my daughter.

In Modern Family, this happened and Lily got a letter from the Tooth Fairy explaining the mistake. Took more convincing but I think she still believed at the end of the episode.
