The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

When I was a small child, I believed in what was
called the tooth fairy. When my tooth fell out I
placed it under my pillow that night and the tooth
fairy would come and take the tooth and leave me a
dollar.

Submitter comment: I stopped believing in the tooth fairy when I was
about eight years old. I caught my father taking my
tooth one night and leaving a dollar.
