When I was very young, I was talking to my grandpa with my parents in the room about fairies. He picked up that all the fairies I was talking about were female, so he asked me why there weren't any male fairies. My reply? "Don't be silly, their penises would fall out when they were flying around!"

When i was little my dad used to reflect light off his watch onto the wall and tell me it was tinkerbell the fairy off peter pan.
He never sat me in front of the tv or anything to make me shut up, just shined his watch on the wall just high enough so i couldn't touch it. I used to spend hours jumping up the wall to try and "catch" her........
This practice stopped when i ran at the wall in frustration and ended up with a nosebleed....

I use to believe that the things rattling around in spray paint cans were baby teeth that the tooth fairy sold to the paint company, that's how she got her money

When I was about 7 and had just lost a tooth, a friend broke the news to me that my mother was the tooth fairy. I thought she meant my mother was the tooth fairy for everybody! I was in complete awe and asked her where she kept all the teeth.

My dad used to call the toothfairy and haggle with her a fair price for my tooth. I would always get scared when he would say "$10 dollars or nothing" and beg him to go lower. I once even got a vcr.

When I was young I was so convinced that the Tooth Fairy was real. My dad is so creative, he made "a tooth fairy trap", I can barely remember it but it involved string and paper and like a cage... we set down ink so she would walk in it and leave foot prints. The next morning there was little footprints all over my paper and money under my pillow. I understood completely why she didnt get caught, cause she is way too little and fast. when i got older i realized my dad used my Barbie shoes to create the footprints.. :(

My mom had one of the most amazing imaginations I have ever been exposed to. As a child she believed that she was sent to the humans by the flower fairies as a gift. Every afternoon she would run out into her garden and shout out 'I'm alright ! The humans are treating me well' so that the fairies wouldn't worry about her.

I used to believe that at night when I was asleep all my furniture including my bed was replaced with identical copies by the fairies. I started putting a cross in pen on my bed to fool them. They obviously sussed it though because they always copied that too.

Whe I was a nipper my older sister, by seven years, used to tell me that sometimes the Tooth Fairy got drunk and took an eye by mistake.
Gave me nightmares for months.

Every time I lost a tooth when I was little, I wrote a letter to the tooth fairy. Acctually it was more of a questionarre, with what I thought were REALLY difficult questions. So every tooth-fairy night my poor mother would have to reach under my pillow, take my well protected tooth, and the note, and answer the questions. Difficult as my mother was not very imaginative, and most of the questions were things like: "Where do you live?" "What do you do with the teeth?" and (my personal favorite) "How come some of my friends get less money than me? Is it 'cos my teeth are worth more in the market?"

I used to believe that there was a toenail fairy. When I was about 5 someting happened to my big toenail to make it slowly fall off. When it finally completely seperated from my toe, i told my mother, who told me to put it under my pillow and the toenail fairy would come. Sure enough, the next morning there was a crisp dollar bill under my pillow.
I always bragged to everyone how i got money from the toenail fairy and no one knew what i was talking about.
In case you were wondering, my toenail did grow back fully.

When I was little my mum and dad told us kids that the tooth fairy took our teeth from under our pillows to make false teeth for our grandad.

I used to believe that my aunt had fairies living at teh bottom of her garden. we used to see their silhouettes flying about and once I even saw one riding a horse. Many years later I found out the it was all created by a projector in the shed.

When I was little, one of my baby teeth had a cavity, so we didn't bother getting it filled in since it would fall out in time. When it did fall out, my sister said the tooth fairy wouldn't want it since it had a big hole in it.
I said, "Well, maybe she can use it as a toilet or a wastebasket."
So that night I left the tooth fairy a note, giving her different ideas for what to use the tooth for. I was so excited in the morning when the tooth was gone. I really thought the tooth fairy liked my ideas! ^-^

I used to believe that when i didn't get money from the toothfairy she was in Hawaii

When I was 2 or 3, I would get fever blisters ALL the time. My brother, about 9 or 10 at that time, told me that there was a "scab fairy" and if I picked the scabs off of my fever blisters and put them under my pillow, the scab fairy would bring my a penny. I totally believed him, and that night, I put my scab under my pillow. I was so disappointed in the morning when I woke up and there was no penny. I thought that maybe the scab had come out from under my pillow, so the scab fairy didn't see it when she looked. I told my brother about it, he started laughing, and I then realized that there was no scab fairy.

When I was little I never believed in the tooth fairy even though it was explained to me. I believed that when I left a tooth under the pillow over night the tooth would crumble revealing the dollar that was always inside it.
One time in school a tooth fell out and I put it in my pocket. Sometime in the day it must have fallen out, I lost it. I imagined some kid walking through the hallway the next day finding my dollar on the ground.

I used to believe that if i put my head under the pillow the tooth fairy would come, chop my head off, and leave money behind.

I had a beautiful little pillow with a pocket on the front and a note to the tooth fairy that I loved, but it always ended up under my moms pillow becuase I was adamant the tooth fairy would crawl in my ear and pull my brains out instead of taking my tooth. i still get queasy at the thought of it today.

I got a dollar from the "tooth fairy" for each tooth under my pillow. Well apparently I decided at one point that this wasn't enough money and I left a note along with my tooth asking for something along the lines of ten bucks from the fairy. Well my mom, sly as she is only left me like ten cents that time....A lesson in greed I suppose but I just could not believe I got ripped off by the tooth fairy!
