My son lost a tooth the other day, and I told him to put the tooth under his pillow and the tooth fairy would come. When he woke in the morning the tooth was still there and no money had been left. I don't understand. When I was a kid the tooth fairy visited me..;)

People have a tendency to just suck all the joy out of nonsense questions don't they? GET A LITTLE CREATIVE HERE PEEPS! My answer to your question is:
I had the SAME PROBLEM with my kid last week! I found the tooth fairy's 800 number in the yellow pages (800-4-a-tooth) and received the following message: "To inquire about a pending tooth loss, please press 1. For questions regarding oral decay and partial tooth loss, please press 2. For monetary allowance based on region, please press 3. For all other inquiries please press 4 or stay on the line for assistance". I pressed "4" and was thrown into the following message system, "Thank you for calling Tooth Fairy International. You call is important to us. Our operators are currently assisting other callers. Your hold time is anticipated to be ..........25 minutes." Then it went into this cheesy elevator music. About every 30 seconds this stupid little blurp about "Did you know that sugar is the number one cause of tooth decay?" would come on. FINALLY I got an operator. I said, "Look, my kid lost a tooth last week, a BIG one, and when she woke up in the morning she still had the tooth under her pillow and no money". The operator informed me that the Tooth Fairy went on vacation last week in California and got sick with E Coli. The substitute/backup fairy apparently up and quit on them and they had no one else to step in so they said to just keep checking and sometime in the next week or 2 we should find some money under the pillow. Here's the catch though, you HAVE TO leave the tooth under the pillow. Even though the Tooth Fairy knows your child is due money, if no tooth is present then no money will be left. Think how many children have already removed their tooth! What a rip off.......

We've all done it! Perhaps the weather was too bad for the tooth fairy to come out? It happened in our house once and I explained to my 4 yr old that the tooth fairy belongs to the same union as some railway workers. Therefore it's the 'wrong leaves on the line scenario' preventing normal service. Father Christmas on the other hand is self employed and the restraints of union rulings do not apply to the jolly old elf!
Once the weather had calmed down, coincidentally the next night, the magic happened resulting in a VERY toothless grin!
Hope this helps!

Everyone knows about the tooth fairy, right? She's the 3-inch high little imp that trades your missing teeth for her spare change. Besides that, what do we really know about her? Well, more than you probably realize. From this day forward, I share that information with you.
Fairy Homes
Fairies like the Tooth Fairy (who prefers to be called Grizelda) do not live in the sky like most people believe. Others believe that Grizelda builds a large castle out of teeth for her family. That just isn't the case, though [1]. The fairies live in the rain forests of Brazil, lost beneath the thick foliage of vines and moss -- hoping to be undiscovered by humans for at least another decade or two (but with our rate of jungle-burning, this seems just a tad unlikely). The moisture in the tree sap keeps the teeth preserved for many years.
Where Do The Teeth Go?
This is a fairly common question among youngsters, and several senile old men who no longer have any teeth. The answer is quite simple, and most people have figured it out with little thought. Grizelda has a workshop where her children (each one called 'fairchild' [2]) take the preserved teeth, coat them with a special gel called amphetalax, and produce dentures (which get sold back to the people who originally gave up their teeth). This is a relatively new process, really. Before Grizelda was born in 1946, dentures were made of wood.
How Do Fairies Reproduce?
Well, unlike other humanoid beings, fairies are all female (besides the king) so cannot reproduce the 'natural' way. So to compensate for this, they were forced to resort to cloning. And at a rapid rate! Fairies live no more than seven years. Grizelda has been cloned over and over again [3].
The Bloody Head Fairy
This creature, featured on "The Ren And Stimpy Show" is not a true fairy at all. It is really a cursed ogre and is not to be trusted. On slow nights when bloody heads cannot be found, it makes its own bloody head if you know what I mean.
If you come in contact with this beast, start chanting "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" backwards, or perhaps just run. You do not want to have a conversation with this guy -- if his breath doesn't kill you, his knowledge and fascination for the New York Jets will.
The Sock Fairy
Possibly the most misunderstood fairy of all, Chuckles the Sock Fairy makes her monthly rounds to the homes of the middle-classed, borrowing socks. It was once believed that she kept the socks for herself -- a thief. This is no longer the theory, however. She trades them for other socks, more or less. No joke! This is why someone washing a load of white socks will always end up one white sock short, and next time he washes a load -- a red sock shows up.
The sock fairy is not mischievous or troublesome on purpose. She merely needs socks quite desperately, and always forgets who she borrows from so will more often than not return the wrong sock.
No one has ever seen her in action. We don't know if Chuckles hides in the Chlorox Bleach (which she feeds on), or if she lives behind the dryer where no one ever cleans.
Fairies... what a bothersome lot...
[1] This belief is understandable, though, because it was once true. At
least until Grizelda's father (The Fairy King) discovered that "dead"
teeth rot even faster than those still in use...
[2] Historians, genealogists, and scientists alike are all trying to find
out the exact connection between fairies and Morgan Fairchild.
[3] As seen in "Multiplicity" (or from any Xerox machine), each copy gets
less and less like the original to a state of complete madness. We are
not sure how this insanity is stopped.

My, the tariff has gone up! My sons used to get 50 p until the fatal night when a threatening letter was left under the pillow of one of them reading: "Give me one pound or I'll kill you!" The tooth fairy never called again!

That's because when you were visited the tooth fairy was your parents, now that you are the parent.
You are the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, and santa clause.

She came to my house for my daughter's tooth, so I know she is still in business. Did you forget about the tooth signal? It's kinda like the one for batman, but you don't need such a big spotlight. They can be safely installed on top of your house, but can only be used on cloudy nights. Maybe it's too clear where you live? I think you can purchase one on ebay, although you were supposed to get one when you left the hospital with your little one. Good luck!

Gordon Brown scrapped the Tooth fairy to pay for more helicopters for the army.

I have it on good authority that due to government cutbacks the tooth fairy now only works a 3 day week. You probably got her day off.
