They have questions
So, last weekend, my dad gave a little piece of rolled up foil. In it was the first tooth I lost as a kid. Today, more than a week later, my son, out of the blue, says “So, how did Papa get your tooth from the tooth fairy?”
I told him to call Papa.

With no disrespect to your father, it was probably two falls out of three. Them tooth fairies are tougher than you’d think.

Since this is the modern age, here’s an explanation might work: Your dad filed suit against the fairy, following up immediately with discovery requests and subpoenas, ultimately obtaining a court order for the return of the tooth. The fairy claimed that there was an exchange for fair market value forming an implied contract. Your dad challenged the fairy for proof that any payment was made and received. Ha. Good argument. But, the judge came up with one of his own, deeming the tooth fairy to be a non-person, lacking rights and therefore lacking the legal capacity to own property. UPDATE: The tooth fairy resisted the Order, declared centuries of tradition dictated otherwise, was found in contempt of court and ordered to jail, and ultimately succumbed to the SWAT team sent to enforce the Contempt Order. It is the modern age, after all. EVERYTHING gets lawed.
Sorry: I’m consumed today by the practice of law, law, and more law.
