[mickeyfan1]

with them, I believe, I have always believed, and I always will. They are so tricky, and very inventive. Someday I will be tagged.

Poll Fairies???? I will give that some thought.

Yes, Virginia, There are Tag Faeries


Editorial Page, New York Sun, 1897


We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun:




I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there are no Tag Faeries. Papa says, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, are there Tag Faeries?
Virginia O'Hanlon




Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.


Yes, Virginia, there are Tag Faeries.


They exist as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Tag Faeries! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.







Not believe in Tag Faeries! You might as well not believe in Santa Claus. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Tag Faeries, but that is no sign that there are no Tag Faeries. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.







You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.







No Tag Faeries?Thank God they live and live forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, they will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

After seeing many things here on the community board, I am beginning to believe in tag fairies! But of course, I will only truly believe once I have been tagged...

So, catch me if you can! I believe, I believe!

DD10 asked if there was more than one tooth fairy last night. She wrote a note, yet again, to the tooth fairy asking questions (this time, "where do you get your money?") and asking for an autograph, which of course she compared to other notes and noticed that the signature was different. Of course, the next logical question was "is there more than one tooth fairy?".
Why of course there are!

How many tag fairies are there?

By the way - the answer to where tooth fairies get their money (according to DH) is "donations"

I have never asked to be tagged. I just said something silly, and, poof, there it was. I think they do what they want, whether asked or not. I believe, yes I do. The tag fairies are there when you don't expect them, and there is no rhyme or reason. They just fill our lives with joy.

 

[cgcw]

Without a doubt, I now believe.

 

[Boots]

I do believe, I do believe, I do believe!!!

 

[Sunfleur]

I simply can't believe there was ever any question. The answer is ........."Of course they do!"

 

[Lars624]

I Believe!!!!
and I've vowed to defend

 

[Dream]

Ah....it warms my heart to be surrounded by believers in magic!!!

 

[Wagamama]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

 

[Miss Jasmine]

I believe, I believe. clap clap clap

 

[goofy4tink]

While they may not believe in me, I most heartily believe in them!! I applaud you, you tricky little devils!! You do brighten our lives.

<----------okay, I'm changing my answer to NO!
