I was about 6 when I lost my first tooth. I lost another, and another, and another. Apparently, I was pulling out my teeth to get the dollar the tooth fairy left. She quit leaving the dollar. I left it under my pillow for weeks before I learned that there was in fact no tooth fairy. I made the connection that there was no tooth fairy, there was no Santa, and no Easter Bunny. Hard lesson for a couple of bucks.
