I have a kid and would also like to hear more from people with kids! Here is a parenting-related, money-related story from my life:

Kid: Mama, will my teeth fall out?

Me: Yeah, but it’ll be okay because the tooth fairy will come and give you money for them.

Kid: Why?

Me: Ummmm… because she is building a palace out of baby teeth.

Kid: Why?

Me: Because… (look at my partner for help)

Partner: I already told him the tooth fairy is a myth. I can’t lie to him!

The moral is, decide on your story in advance. Why does the tooth fairy want baby teeth? I had never really thought about it.
