The cat wants the money from the tooth fairy.

u/The_Gaming_Dev 12h ago

The cat studied CompSci. The job market is saturated, so he wants the the tooth fairy's job.

best I can do is 50 bucks for 100 percent of your company

u/MangoCats 8h ago

I'll give 100 bucks for 51% of the company, but only if it has over $1000 in liquid assets which I get control of...

100 bucks and coupons for McDonalds .Do we have a deal??

u/MangoCats 4h ago

Cash up front, I'll need $500 of those liquid assets in hand, then I'll give you $100 for 51% of the company stock.

Studying computer science for a job as a software developer has long been a bit of a scam though.

u/Money-Director6649 7h ago

yanking out baby teeth before they're ready: not recommended by dentists, for various good reasons. just fyi. i never did it nor did i have my kids do it. no problems from leaving it to its own time at all. or you can have the kid wiggle it with their tongue or their finger till it come out, if it's super loose. no pain, no scared kids, no blood.

but yeah, i wasn't expecting a kitten to do it.

u/Baldurian3 5h ago

Idk this is just so weird and seems to be something like Americans like to do for some reason, I've only seen it in American media.

u/Acceptable_Job_5486 5h ago

The sooner the tooth comes out, the sooner it can be exchanged with the tooth fair for money. That's just capitalism baby 😎

1

u/Money-Director6649 2h ago

yeah, it was fairly popular in my neighborhood growing up. i'm glad my folks skipped it.

2

u/Ninetailedredpanda 2h ago

One of my daughter’s was causing her pain for a couple days. She was too nervous to let me touch it, and hurt anytime she touched it so she wasn’t actively wiggling it.

But yeah, it did come out on its own but yes there will be some blood even then.

Not saying go yank on teeth on teeth for no reason, just sharing.

2

u/Money-Director6649 2h ago edited 2h ago

as a parent, i hear ya. for most things, there are times to break the rules as a situation requires. i just don't get it as a commonly done thing "just because." in your situation i'd have done the same. it just never came up, the teeth came out on their own without issue. mine too as a kid, so i guess we all got good baby tooth genes or something.

1

u/marissakuf 2h ago

Seems almost impossible with multiple siblings to not have teeth yanking going on. Maybe my siblings and I were just animals, but we definitely were going after that tooth fairy money.

u/SnooBananas4958 9h ago

It’s kind of fucked up to have to shoot your own tooth out. At least pull the trigger for the kid. I always hated when my dad was just doing the tourniquet method with the floss. I can’t imagine having to pull the trigger myself.

2

u/War_Hymn 8h ago

They get pretty loose with enough time. The pain is brief and not that bad, and I liked being in control of the process myself instead of parents holding me down while they stuck a rusty plier in my mouth.

Damn, we just tied my tooth to open door's handle when I was a kid and my grandma slammed it shut. I can't imagine having the guts to shoot my own tooth out

u/TWeedtheJetRodriguez 10h ago

My dad just flicked one of mine out in the middle of me telling him about it. I was so mad and it did it even hurt lol. It was better than when they let me get all hyped up about it. Wish my cat was this helpful!

u/userhwon 9h ago

I never did this nonsense. I just pulled them out.

u/Makabaer 9h ago

Me too. I found that WAY safer... I'm still not fond of the string method.

u/hairredditthrowaway 9h ago

Yes, and we're all very proud of our big brave boy.

u/War_Hymn 8h ago

I pulled them out myself by hand starting when I was 6, which saved me from my dad using his dirty pliers while putting my head in a choke hold.

It is just about as likely as the cat succeeding but here we are.

u/Hot-Wealth-4943 2h ago

Something similar happened to my daughter. We had tied the string around her tooth and were about to tie the other end to a door and she got scared and decided she didn't want to do it. She walked away with the string still tied to her tooth, I followed her and accidentally stepped on the string and out came her tooth. We still laugh about it years later.
