Does the Tooth Fairy still come if you LITERALLY lose your tooth?

I came home from work last Friday and the first thing I noticed was a gap in Ryan's bottom row of teeth. He was a few feet away from me, so I thought, maybe he has something in his mouth? But he wasnt acting excited like a kid that FINALLY lost a third tooth when he is one month shy of 8 years old. After questioning him, it was clear that he WAS excited, just worried. Worried that the Tooth Fairy wasnt coming because he couldn't find the tooth. You see, he and his cousin Christopher were playing some sort of tug of war with their mouths while standing in the bus line after school. One good tug and the tooth came out....never to be seen again. Well, Chad reassured him about how the Tooth Fairy knows about these things regardless of whether a tooth is presented under the pillow or not...and sure enough, she came. It's crazy too, cause she left him FIVE DOLLARS! She must not have had any change. :)

I can't even begin to tell you how many times one of my kids has lost their tooth before it makes it under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy. Never fear though, she always comes....tooth or no tooth.

$5, huh? Maybe we'll starting putting our teeth under YOUR pillows. Our Tooth Fairly never leaves that much money!

Darn, think I'll get dentures and leave my teeth under the pillow for $5 a pop. Alex would love to come live with you because tooth fairy only left her $.50 last week. haha

The tooth fairy also comes if you leave your tooth on the tissue in the bathroom and your Mom flushes it! Yeah we had to write a letter!!! LOL Poor Conner, he was so worried.
