“Yes, he/she does. Last month I “accidentally” lost a tooth that was in a plastic cup in the boys' room. My son wrote a letter to the tooth fairy explaining what happened. Tooth fairy responded to the note and with a R20.”

Responded @FaithJDanielsSA:
“Awwww! The tooth fairy has such awesome manners.”
@DroEdwige said:
“The tooth fairy brings a letter and a coin when she comes to pick up the tooth. What she does with the tooth and other such questions are left shrouded in mystery.”
@VauldiCarelse joined in on the comment section saying;
“As for ‘Love your work’. May you suggest the wording for the tooth fairy’s reply? ‘Dear Luke, I love your work too. Thanks for taking such good care of your teeth.”
@Mabutie was left wondering how much was due to Luke:
“I wonder how much did Luke get, for him to love the tooth fairy's work.”
@RubyF1 opted to praise the parent @FaithJDanielsSA is:
“The fact that he took the time, I think it deserves a response. Ģet one of your friends to write a quick appreciation note. This is very cute BTW (by the way). Good little human you're raising.”
According to @IamAlexSweet said:
“'Love your work. Yes the fairy writes back with a glittering pen of course.”
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously had a published story, that the mythical Tooth Fairy is a big part of most of our lives especially when we were growing up.
A lot of parents still keep up the tradition by hiding money after their child has lost a tooth. Generally, children received a silver coin from the Tooth Fairy.
In a recent Tweet, a parent showed off that their child had received R20 from the fairy. @Mzwakhe_Isaac22 is the parent that uploaded the image of the R20 note in his child's school shoe. He went on to caption it: "And the Tooth Fairy delivered."
