Dear  Laura,

I've never heard of a tooth fairy in Russia, but we had a little  mouse 
(myshka) in my family.  When a baby tooth fell out, mom took it  in the palm 
of her hand and said something to the effect that now a little  mouse has to 
take the baby tooth and then a new tooth will come out, after  which she 
would shake her fist and then open it and -- oh my! -- the tooth  is gone.
