The Tooth Fairy

On Saturday, our son woke up missing one of his baby teeth.

When children’s baby teeth fall out in Western countries, they put them under their pillows before the go to sleep. They believe that the tooth fairy will visit their bedrooms during the night and exchange their baby teeth for gifts of money.
The tooth fairy (fairies?) visits a child's bedroom

One of our students (Hi, Noriko!) gave us a beautiful little box that was perfectly suited to this tradition...
Our son put his tooth into the box and then put the box under his pillow...
During the night, he was visited by the tooth fairy…
I can't decide which costume suits me best! What do you think?

The next morning, the tooth was no longer in the box...
In its place was 100 yen.
In the early 90s, they were going to make an action/comedy movie featuring Arnold Scharzenegger as the Tooth Fairy. For some reason, that project didn’t go ahead. However, when I was looking for tooth fairy pictures, I found out that that movie did finally get made…
