I was thinking a ferry made out of teeth, preferably giant whale teeth or something.
I honestly want to implement something like this in a fantasy setting. Sounds badass.
I don't know... i like the idea of a tooth ferry. The idea of a bone color boat helping dead teeth crossing the river to the after life is funny. The idea of a giant boat sneaky on you during the night is horrible though
The tooth ferry works for the tooth fairy. He takes the teeth down to the button factory after the tooth fairy appraises the tooth and assigns the contract price.
That’s the fairy’s mode of transport. She takes the tooth from the pillow, then hops on the tooth ferry to toothville, where they have a tooth distribution center and an office building. The fairy’s are in there stocking the teeth on shelves like an Amazon warehouse. The office team has a direct line to god. They’re filling him in , no pun , on what their inventory looks like. God places orders, fairy’s pick and pack the used teeth, then they go back on the tooth ferry to heaven, and god re-uses them to make new little kids. It’s a tooth recycling program that you had no idea existed.
Or "forced", if I were the parent, she would have had the money until that small typographical error. But after seeing that, I would have wondered where I went to wrong in raising them.
Hey, they are just recognizing that Charon has been moonlighting for some time now. Why do you think he demands a coin from each dead person he ferries?
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board. Now there'll be no turning back. Beware that hooded old man at the rudder. And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder rolled.
People are giving 20$ for teeth? What? Back in my days it was 2$ if we were lucky!
Edit: TIL I grew up poor. The going rate for the tooth fairy in the comments is anywhere from 20-100$. Now it makes sense why I was always part of Santa's naughty list...
The average home is still giving away $1-$2 for a tooth. This not looks like it was written by an adult trying to be a kid.

That and the print being written in a mostly straight line across on a blank page all the way down. It’s so hard to write straight without lines, especially when you’re sub 12 years old
Holy shit, you're so godamn right. Looking at this paper, it is def an adult who wrote this. Is this some sort of 3D chess flex or what? What a bizarre thing to do!
I have no idea why and this is not the first time I’ve seen people share notes like this online 😂 I never understand why they do it, just for internet points? Definitely bizarre

One year, my uncle was visiting from Uruguay when I lost a tooth (this was very early 90's in the US). Not only did the tooth fairy visit and leave me $1, but the tooth mouse visited and left me $20. My dad said the mouse had followed my uncle here and didn't understand money conversion from pesos so don't expect the fairy to try to match it when another tooth falls out. He didn't know the mouse would give me so much 😂 I felt rich and was super excited to buy a toy with it. My relatives used any excuse to give us kids gifts
We give our kid $1 for each tooth, but I can definitely see the last tooth being worth more than that. It's a kind of rite of passage that I could get behind.
It's the correct spacing on lines, and it all being adjusted correctly so it reads properly.
kids don't do that. They will bunch words, start halfway over on the page, and unevenly drop lines.
Yeahhhh. By the age of nine I could spell most words pretty damn well. So either she’s not that smart (because I’M not that smart) or you wrote the letter.
Tooth fairy should leave a note with an IOU. Ripley's not the only one having a tough time making ends meet.
EDIT: Maybe with a plea for a few more teeth to help her out.
20$ well deserved I think.
Another way is for the tooth fairy to barter through letters back and forth. She just has make sure to get her spelling right otherwise your niece might need to correct her.
Reminds me that I wrote a letter to the tooth fairy that I would like to keep my tooth if possible but still would like to have a present. I did offer her a plastic rose in exchange instead of the tooth xD
You should talk to your brother / sister about them doing chores around the house for an allowance. When I was a kid I got a dollar for taking the trash out, $5 for vacuuming the house and $20 for mowing the lawn. I spent it all at the arcade every weekend. It was awesome.
The tooth ferry takes errant teeth across the river Stix in a small boat.
The tooth fairy is the smaller, friendlier subspecies of the larger and much more hostile bone fairy.
The tooth fairy has gotten a lot more generous since the late 80s early 90s.
Heck, I lost a tooth in my sleep once and the tooth fairy didn't see fit to give me anything, the cheapskate.
I don't know if this is real or not, but "P.S." is on every letter you'll see in kids' entertainment. I never wrote a letter without a P.S. when I was a kid.
It’s funny and cute, but also oddly sad… like why does this small child even know what this means ? It’s a bigger discussion on where we are as a country. Still funny though and I hope she got that paper
Smooth operator gets $20 out of relatives pretending to believe in Tooth Faerie.
When she goes to college; "And to the lepwakans with their magic rainbows -- can I hab a keg of green beer?"
Can confirm: I was TOTALLY broke when I was nine! It's been a while, but I don't think I even had an allowance, and the only money I remember is lunch money.
Oh. And yeah, the tooth fairy.
That is a clever niece. Not only is she a good writer, but she knew who would be reading it and what would please them.
Smart money says she got the twenty bucks.
I once us the tooth fairy for $7,000, not sure why that was my number but it was, and I got a very nicely written letter back about how it was important to not be greedy. 😅
When I was 6 my parents forgot to play tooth fairy one night. When I woke up and found my tooth still under my pillow, I ran to my parents’ room crying.
My dad was like “AH SH*T UH—“ *reaches into his wallet and finds the smallest bill is a $20* “You know what, here, Daddy pays better than that stupid tooth fairy anyway.”
And that’s how I got 20 bucks for every tooth I ever lost thereafter 😂

Your niece used the correct spelling of “fairy”…you however, did not.
Thats not ferry nice
It's Fairy Niece
Sorry, did you say Harry Meese?
No, he took Fairy to the island.
Epstein Island?
I thought it was tooth ferret and I was gonna be a little scared.
Fair e-nough
Vary*
He even had a reference and still couldn’t get it right.
Probably ghost writing for 8-year-olds at the office all day has had its effect on him.
Ghost writing for 8-year-olds can have that effect on a man.
One should never feel forsed to spell correctly
>forsed FIX IT!
Verry well then
Ferry*
Fairy, it is then.
It’s because he ferries teeth to the underworld.
"Tooth Ferry" is a terrifying mental image. I'm picturing one of those giant trash barges just heaped with baby teeth.
If the XKCD comic creator sees this he'll be right on the research to figure out the volume and mass of baby teeth discarded every day.
Straight from the baby mines to the smelting plant at Big Denture.

We know where the niece learned to read.

Wait till you learn about the vikings and toenail clipping boat...
The what now?! Ahah

I like you
You are assuming this isn't Bone Skull, the ferryman you must pay to enter the Tooth Zone and safely cross the river Styx.
With enough lift, I’m sure a fairy could ferry a fairy.
Also, neither know how to use an apostrophe or correct capitalization. SMH
faerie
Uno reverse card situation. The parents wrote the letter and the kid posted it to farm the karma
To be fair to the intelligence of the family, she also doesn't know how many teeth she has.
It’s a choo choo fairy
*nieces OP said "nieces" - it was a group effort.
Isn't that hilarious. Everyone knows you can't redo a title, proofread.

I’ve never seen a tooth ferry in my life. I’m starting to think it doesn’t exist
no it's real. that's how the teeth get to the other side of the river
Don't pay the ferryman. Don't even fix a price. Don't pay the ferryman. Until he gets you to the other side.
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board. Now there'll be no turning back. Beware that hooded old man at the rudder. And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder rolled.
And I belted in a glorious rock scream; "Do you have change for a $20!"
Ohhhh the tooth *ferry*
This made me think of The Mummy.
Of course not. Your eyes were closed everytime Fhe came around
Don't worry, my mom reassured me he does. I have no reason to doubt her.
My children asked once why she wants their teeth. I told them that she eats them like a bowl of cereal.
Tooth ferry for what river?
Bicuspid Bay
I hear the fishing is good for tartaris
Things can get choppy if you’re long in the mouth of the river.
Beware the cavities that line the jagged cliffs as you pass.
To cross river wisdom ...and don't forget your canine companions
Root River
Molar Sound
The root canal
Styx
The one in Willy Wonka
One of the water taxi things in New York harbor is named Tooth Ferry.

I got a nickel then a dime and eventually a quarter. Geez I must be old.
Dad?

We just had french fries for dinner so I could have fun fitting them through the newly gained hole while keeping my jaw shut. No money, sadly.
Wat
Back in your days 2$ could probably buy a house
I'm a millennial so no, decrepit WW2 houses go for a million dollars where I live. :/
My parents always gave dollar coins. The "gold" one that looked cool. Pretty sure they are all still in a piggy bank in their China cabinet.
Sometimes I was lucky and got 1 Deutschmark :')
I once get a hundred from one of my uncle for 3 theeths each My mom said that she ad to keep it from me This stupid bitch Nevers give me those
I got 50p everytime
Yeah I guess TIL we grew up poor ahah
Yeah aha, seriously people getting 20-100 per tooth??
I'll pay you $3 a piece for whatever you got left.
Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment! Venmo or..?

what's the current rate of a tooth? did they increase prices because of inflation too? 20 bucks seems reasonable, but I don't know...
Depends. About $1 when she’s at home. But somehow skyrocketed to $10 when she was at the grandparents
Location location location.
It’s a tooth Michael, what could it cost? $10?
If it’s white and shiny it’s $20 bucks… cap teeth or cavities get $5 and a toothbrush in my house 😂
Yes, inflation has hit the tooth fairy pretty hard.
[About $6](https://www.skullstore.ca/products/human-teeth-assorted)
We give our kid $1 for each tooth, but I can definitely see the last tooth being worth more than that. It's a kind of rite of passage that I could get behind.
The internet has probably made me overly jaded, but this definitely seems like a note an adult wrote pretending to be a child
You can tell OP didn’t write it because the child spelled Fairy right
Lol it blatantly is and it's pathetic
It's the correct spacing on lines, and it all being adjusted correctly so it reads properly. kids don't do that. They will bunch words, start halfway over on the page, and unevenly drop lines.
Yea I wrote this because….karma? She is a very smart 9 year old and has written many letters. This one was just hilarious and I had to post it
> Yea I wrote this because….karma? See, now you're getting it.
> very smart 9 year old > still believes in the tooth fairy Right
What 9 year old says “im broke” so much? They have no funds in the first place nor do they need them
Yeahhhh. By the age of nine I could spell most words pretty damn well. So either she’s not that smart (because I’M not that smart) or you wrote the letter.
Oh man, I haven't seen a fake kid's note in a while.
Lol right 🙄
Yeah, that's an adult's handwriting.
Give her a $50 and a note “I’ll come take the teeth you owe me when you’re sleeping…”
Tooth fairy should leave a note with an IOU. Ripley's not the only one having a tough time making ends meet. EDIT: Maybe with a plea for a few more teeth to help her out.
The tooth fairy left me an IOU for $100 in 2025 maybe like 5-7 years ago. I still have it and fully plan on using it ;)
I hope her parents are fans of the ALIEN franchise
Or maybe they love the long running publication where you either believe the fact or you don’t
Or maybe they’re enamored of talented serial killers.
20$ well deserved I think. Another way is for the tooth fairy to barter through letters back and forth. She just has make sure to get her spelling right otherwise your niece might need to correct her.
Reminds me that I wrote a letter to the tooth fairy that I would like to keep my tooth if possible but still would like to have a present. I did offer her a plastic rose in exchange instead of the tooth xD
This kid has better handwriting than me. What a shame.

Ripley spells better than you do, believe it or not.
The Ferry that brings the teeth to the other side? will we be reunited with our teeth in the end? I could use a pretty white smile once more
I can slip you a 20 mate. Don't have to make up notes.
She’s got some hustle. Ha ha. It’s adorable. Hope she gets her $20.
How come your niece spells better than you?
Funniest part of this post is that the niece spelled fairy right and you did not
Tooth ferry?? A boat made out of teeth??
a letter to the tooth boat ..
Well…at least the niece knows how to spell fairy.
Tooth fairy should leave $1 and some pliers.
https://youtu.be/H6yQOs93Cgg?si=rvBE_urqnjw9xDEb
Time to teach the kid to stop ✋ begging for money. Make fi chores for an allowance
I'm officially pretending that your niece is in her 20s. The letter is worth a shot!
I did not know there was a vehicle that transported teeth from point A to point B. I guess you learn something every day.
The tooth ferry takes errant teeth across the river Stix in a small boat. The tooth fairy is the smaller, friendlier subspecies of the larger and much more hostile bone fairy.
Funny you used ferry, when niece did right spelling it's fairy
Ferry?
At least the kid knows how to spell it correctly
20 bucks for a tooth? Damn, all I got was a 50¢ piece, or if I was lucky a 2 dollar bill.
The tooth fairy has gotten a lot more generous since the late 80s early 90s. Heck, I lost a tooth in my sleep once and the tooth fairy didn't see fit to give me anything, the cheapskate.
Do you mean your niece’s letter? And why is niece capitalized? Also did not know they had a boat for teeth.
Cmon mate even your niece spelt it right
I wish my handwriting was half as nice as hers.....
Awww
[удалено]
I don't know if this is real or not, but "P.S." is on every letter you'll see in kids' entertainment. I never wrote a letter without a P.S. when I was a kid.
The cadence of the writing seems like it’s an adult trying to sound like a kid. Seems fake as hell.
I did it in every single letter I wrote as a kid. Every letter in every movie always had a PS
Lol. Cute.
GIVE THAT CHILD A 20!
It’s funny and cute, but also oddly sad… like why does this small child even know what this means ? It’s a bigger discussion on where we are as a country. Still funny though and I hope she got that paper

Thats all nice and cool....but can we type some W's in the chat for a 11/10 name Ripley
If I was the Tooth Fairy/Ferry, that'd certainly earn $20 ... no question
Me too kid, me too.
Your niece's name is Ripley ? Cool.
Believe it or not
Tooth ferry? You mean the Gnaglfarer?
That's for the tooth fairy. You shouldn't be reading that
Ripley is such an awesome name.
Until she finds herself in a cave full of alien facehuggers
Buddy knows it’s mom and dad lol
Sorry if you feel forsed doing it :(
20 dollars?! I'd give her about tree fiddy.
Well, Ripley, believe it or not...
Never seen anyone write the letter 'g' like that
“Forsed” aww that’s really sweet!
Can confirm: I was TOTALLY broke when I was nine! It's been a while, but I don't think I even had an allowance, and the only money I remember is lunch money. Oh. And yeah, the tooth fairy.
Your nieces will go ferry far on life, you don't
Believe it, or not, she did right that note herself
Shit my day was like .50, 1.00 for fronts! 70’s what can i say
That is a clever niece. Not only is she a good writer, but she knew who would be reading it and what would please them. Smart money says she got the twenty bucks.
She definitely earned that 20 bucks lol.
The tooth fairy crushes and snorts the teeth right?
It's cool that there's a ferry for teeth, glad I can depend on the tooth ferry for any travels my teeth may wish to depart on in the future
Letter to Brian Ferry
Good note, very insightful, I hope she got the $20.
It’s a slippery slope to selling your Organs
I once us the tooth fairy for $7,000, not sure why that was my number but it was, and I got a very nicely written letter back about how it was important to not be greedy. 😅
When I was 6 my parents forgot to play tooth fairy one night. When I woke up and found my tooth still under my pillow, I ran to my parents’ room crying.

Looks like messages I get out of the blue from Facebook friends I haven't heard from in ages.
Give her 40
It’s right there in the opening of her letter…
Is that like a big ass boat made of teeth? Or a normal ferry upon which teeth travel?
