Signed, Michael P.S. I really need about $2.50 Times have changed. Back when my oldest daughter Jennifer first wiggled loose her bottom incisors, she received a mere 48 cents for the pair. I got it from a reliable source that the tooth fairy had intended to go as high as half a dollar, but came up 24 short after a last minute search for spare change through the cushions of our couch. Still, 484 was a princely sum compared to the nickels and dimes youngsters got for their extracted baby teeth MR. AND MRS. ERIC TOLMAN I on it with his pliers. to Yet, the actual pay-oremained stable my daughter in the form of one, crisp was a kid. . By the time our second daughter, Stacee, had the opportunity to leer with newly emptied gums at her dad's Polaroid, the kind of inflation that made penny candy cost a nickel required the tooth fairy to fork over at least a dollar to do right by any kid willing to take her chances with the old tooth under the pillow" gambit. Besides, Stacee had worked hard to achieve the title of toothless wonder. Shed pushed on every tooth in her mouth for over a year before she finally got one to budge and then shed had to con the janitor at school to make the final tug. I figure Stacees next loose tooth cost the tooth fairy almost $10 counting the fee the dentist charged to get a grip ff greenback. Now, with Michael, its a different story. Gone is the notion that the ubiquitous sprite who leaves cold hard cash under childrens bedding even needs a fair unit of exchange. ' You cant tell todays Sesakids that the me Street-wis- e tooth fairy needs their out grown choppers for making the necklaces she sells on ex- -' otic islands to ge the money she needs to buy more teeth. And no kindergartener whos spent his entire lifetime listening to Mr. Rogers theories of whats make believe and what isnt is ever going to swallow the story that the tooth fairy uses the teeth she gathers to make dentures for poor people. So Michael who saves his money in a bank shaped like a hippopotamus, needs $2.50, and he also needs his tooth. What are you going to do with it? I ask before I tuck him in at night. The little boy has it all planned out: The tooth he will take to kindergarten show n tell." As for the money, Mikey figures he can get a whole pound of chocolate yogurt covered malt balls with $2.50. A whole pound! I exclaim, invoking my parental right to gross exaggeration, That much candy will rot your other teeth. Youll have to have them all pulled out. I know, the little boy smiles, and then Ill have to get myself a bigger bank."
