True but my prior on that was about an order of magnitude lower than my prior on the tooth fairy being real at all. It's not necessary to explain the phenomena if it gets the info via parents.
In my household, it's well established that Santa Claus is in regular contact with the parents; Tooth Fairy lore is less well established, but that makes this a reasonable hypothesis. In yours, maybe not.
