Do you know what is special about August 22? It’s National Tooth Fairy Day!
August 29, 2019
Do you know where the idea of the Tooth Fairy originated? There is much speculation but according to Forbes, “the closest parallel to the American Tooth Fairy may be an 18th-century French fairy tale called La Bonne Petite Souris. In the story, a good queen is imprisoned by a bad king and enlists a mouse for help out of her predicament. The mouse turns out to be a fairy who frees the queen and knocks out the king’s teeth. The fairy-mouse then hides the teeth under the king’s pillow, before eventually having him assassinated. A happy children’s tale for sure!”
