Maybe when I was really little. The tooth fairy and santa claus was treated as more of a make believe game than actually trying to convince me they were real. There was an invisible entity in the house too. Every time the air pressure closed a door or there was thump or something fell over etc "Boobo" did it. So for me it was all just fun and games.

Santa clause is a whole other story for me.
I outgrew him early, but I didn't tell mum and dad so I could keep getting presents from this Santa.

No, anyway back when I was a child, in Poland the belief such a a fairy exists wasn't widely spread and I heard about it only on TV.

Well it's nice when you can do it. It must be great to really think you're going to wake up in a really nice place when you die as long as you've been good. And for the fairies to leave you sixpence for every tooth, and a magical bearded bloke shinning down the chimney every year to give you presents, what fun life would be. Pity it's always about if you've been good though. Nobody really knows what the rules are exactly.

A little, but I never got money for losing teeth. I remember once asking my mum why the tooth fairy never come to our house and she said we have to ask it. We never did ask it.

These days parents pretend there are fairies that take pacifiers away from trees and leave little gifts in return, as a way of getting their children to give up their pacifiers. When I was 3 and my mum thought it was time to give up my pacifier, she said to me "now that you are 3 you don't need a pacifier any more, pacifiers are for babies" and chucked all my pacifiers in the trash in front of me. No made-up fairies and no gifts. :lol:

You've exonerted yourself by your own low standards. I do that. I'll be at the pearly gates saying I should be allowed in because I've got a nice trim tum.

No, I never believed in the tooth fairy. Maybe because my parents didn't try hard enough to fool me.

No. It was against my family’s religious beliefs to have those sorts of traditions.

I don't think I ever really believed in these types of things but I kinda pretended to because adults expected it & I wanted to keep getting money from the Tooth Fairy & presents from Santa Clause on top of the presents my parents my parents said were from them :wink:

Honestly don't recall. I remember doing it, the putting the tooth under your pillow and getting some money but I can't remember if I ever really thought it was a fairy.

I remember my sister gleefully telling me about Santa Claus though. I think I already had my doubts. My reaction was more "Oh yeah, that makes more sense," than "What?!?"

As a child, I also believed anything was possible. I guess I wasn't very smart or logical or I would have at least questioned the existence of the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny and Santa. What's with all the secrecy? If these beings really did exist, then why didn't they just appear and prove it?

But then again there are grown adults who firmly believe in God ins spite of the same things, so...
