有网友写道：“我姐比我大十三岁。我第一次换牙时得了一美元，而她掉第一颗牙时只得了25美分，所以她很生气。”

’As I danced around in my pajamas holding my crisp new dollar bill, my sister poked her headout of room and said, "Man, a dollar? Just wait until the leg fairy comes, you’ll get, like, twentydollars".

“我穿着睡衣，拿着那张崭新的一美元手舞足蹈。这时她从卧室里探出头来说道：‘小子，才一美元?等着吧，等腿仙来了你能拿到差不多二十美元呢。’。”

’When I said that I’d never heard of this leg fairy, she explained that, when my kid legs fall offand my adult legs start to grow in, I’ll have to just kind of hop around on my butt for a year orso, but I’ll have the twenty bucks.

“我说我从来没听过什么腿仙，她便解释说，我只有等到儿童的腿脱落下来，才能长出成人的腿，在此之前我得用屁股跳来跳去跳上个一年半载，不过我能得到二十美元。”

Another was told that if they did not behave on the plane, the pilot would turn around.

还有人被恐吓道，如果在飞机上不听话，飞行员就会把飞机掉头。
