As we lay our heads upon our pillows tonight, we stop to take note of National Tooth Fairy Day. Apparently, tonight's the night the winged ambassador of dentistry and banking gets her due. (Although other sources have the day as February 28th. Anyone who's going to bring us money can have two days!)
But all we've got working is a couple of teeth that might need root canals, and we'd need more than a buck from the tooth fairy to cover that. But it seems the fairy is way ahead of big-box initiatives and has raised her price for a chomper.
The Sun-Times says $2 is the going rate these days, and we're impressed. However, we are a little curious about the math -- the article says it's "up 22 cents from last year." So the tooth fairy was leaving $1.78 per tooth?
However, we did speak to a mother who said her daughter's friends in Evanston were getting $5 and $10 a tooth, and so the tooth fairy leaves a golden dollar to make her little girl's surprise that more special. (Five bucks?! The tooth fairy is loaded in Evanston...)
Regardless, we're a big fan of fairies, so we're going reach into our alphabet grab bag and pull out some zzz's.

2 bucks is pretty good. Silver Dollars are a nice touch. It does not always have to be money, a cool book or a little trinket or something else works well too.
I got a dollar when I was little. I knew people who received nothing because they weren't raised with the tooth fairy. And that's fine too. A kid needs $10 for losing their tooth as much as they need $5 for not shitting their pants. So what if he is in a hockey program and gets 3 of his teeth knocked out. Is that $30? I know they wear colanders over their face but it happens.
