My child lost their first tooth today.
I (being clever) got them to put it in an envelope under their pillow ready for the tooth fairy.
The tooth fairy tells me the envelope was empty but they left £2 anyway. Hopefully this is standard procedure. XD

My daughter lost her first tooth at age six. The next morning, I went in to wake her up and she found her $5 under the pillow, at which point she looked me directly in the eyes and asked, “Mom, are you the tooth fairy?” Uhhh…… I think I gave her the standard cop-out parental response (“What do you think?”) but the cat was out of the bag.
My six year old is a major skeptic of things like the tooth fairy, Santa, etc. stated when he lost his first tooth “I don’t believe in the tooth fairy but I still get money, right?”
Classic! The funny thing is, my daughter is not much of a skeptic, so I was kind of blown away! However, I do think she is extremely emotionally perceptive. My son is definitely more of the skeptic and would definitely say something like yours, lol.
When I was about seven I lost a tooth and decided to do a test. I didn’t tell anyone and still put it under my pillow. Needless to say I was double sad the next day. I had proof that the tooth fairy was a lie and I was down a dollar.
The tooth fairy doesn’t just show up, obviously your adults need to call in a tooth fairy pickup or she’ll never know to stop by! Hers is among the scrappier mythological operations, she doesn’t have the big-budget infrastructure of your Santa Claus types.
My son did this, but he’s also the most chill kid and just kind of mentioned it the next day. He seemed pleased that he had figured it out, so I hope he wasn’t hiding true disappointment!
Mine has already suggested the tooth fairy is a myth. I think I said “people believe all sorts of things”. 😅
