This is very cool.

My daughter was very worried that she might lose her tooth and swallow it, so I told her that the sewer mermaids have an agreement with the tooth fairy, and they'd deliver the tooth to her, and then she would deliver the money.

My child didn't buy it, but maybe ya'll's will be more believing :p

Sewer mermaids does strain credibility a bit, you have to admit. The human-scale rabbit which delivers gifts in eggs is far more credible.

Oh, I'd like you to know that there is (internationally at least - I know the US likes its anthros) very intense debate around the issue whether the Easter Bunny is a human-sized rabbit or just a very fast rabbit-sized rabbit strong enough to lift a basket. I've also at several times heard kids argue that there's more than one rabbit involved or that the Easter Bunny is assisted by his family.

There's plenty of prior art depicting rabbit-sized Easter bunnies painting and loading eggs onto baskets and most kids have heard of the idea of Santa Claus having a workshop staffed by elves so I guess it's no big leap (or hop?) to deduct that there must be more than just one bunny involved, although you can argue about the relative time cost of hiding presents in multiple places compared to having to sneak into a building.

Just for the confusion, in France, Belgium and areas around, it's bells, flying back from Rome, that bring chocolate to the children. The bells on churches fly there and are silent for some time and then come back on Easter with the sweets.

Funnily enough, just 30 minutes ago, my child accused me of lying to her about the Easter Bunny.

I just went through the claim process and it explains that the sewer rats will be notified if you swallowed a tooth
