    My friends daughter heard about the tooth fairy and said “I don’t think we should give her more teeth until we have figured out why she wants them, what is her plan?”

        Then there’s kids like me, who would daydream about actually being a fae changeling.

        It’s not even as if my parents didn’t love me, I was just a weird kid who was more comfortable being weird than fitting in.

    Just say they’re banned from graveyards, because they pulled that shit all the time without burying them again. You need to stay consistent and plausible with those lies. 😉

    I like Pratchett’s take. The Tooth Fairy of the Discworld takes the baby teeth and hides them in his domain because pieces of a person can be used for sympathetic magic, like cursing someone, and he wants to protect the kids from that.

    People don’t get it. The Tooth Fairy isn’t collecting teeth, she doesn’t really even want them. She just has the ancient job of giving kids the traditional bounty for teeth. She just tosses out the teeth when she gets home. She’s ain’t going to the trouble of digging up people for their teeth. She’s got more than enough to handle already.

    Honestly, this is a golden teachable moment in critical thinking. Jr here is starting to ponder the implausibility of a myth. Encourage more thought, guide away from magical thinking, answer their questions honestly, and reward them for arriving at better answers. Then follow up with a big reward as they’ll probably feel a tad disillusioned when it’s all over.

            First they need to burst out of the grave. The zombie babies. Why don’t we see zombie babies in the zombie movies anyway? Also can zombies fuck and reproduce? I’ve never seen a pregnant zombie. I have many questions.

              they reproduce as parasites by infecting their “virus/germ” into living humans.

    The people are only dead because they refused to keep giving the Tooth Fairy their teeth, so (s)he killed them but will honor their wish in death.
