tooth fairy inflation

Along with all the other inflation this world has been facing, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's affected the tooth fairy business too. Apparently kids these days get like $5 or more for a tooth. When I was a kid, I was lucky to get 50 cents for a tooth. I don't know how parents can afford these inflationary tooth costs. There should be some sort of tooth fairy insurance agency which covers parents for these things. Maybe I should start that industry. In a few years, it could be a real money maker. Seriously though, I wonder what other things have been affected by inflation. I mean, are kids making $20 a week in allowance these days? I only got allowance for a small stretch of my life. For the most part, my parents made me do chores because it was part of my responsibility as a member the family. I used to get a quarter for every matchbook I used to find and give to my parents. It was my parents way of insuring that I wasn't playing with fire. I bet I could get a couple of bucks for a matchbook in this day, even with the economy being what it is. Of course, I guess they need more money since the things they want to buy cost more. It seems the only thing not going up is my paycheck.
