i talked to miesposo and he says the following:
as a child he believed in hada madrina or hada de dientes. he'd put his teeth under the pillow and receive 5 pesos for each.
he also made a distinction about different social class, according to miesposo ratoncito miguel was something seen in campos and among the poor while hada de dientes was the thing going on in the cities and among the richer.
from myself i will add that in poland i knew neither. out of all the supernatural personage we only had santa claus (święty mikołaj) or dziadek mr?z (дед mороз).
