When children lose a tooth, they expect immediate payment without explanation or delay. It doesn't matter if the Tooth Fairy is having a bad day, is dealing with car troubles, or just flat-out forgot. Oh no, dear parents, this is pretty serious business.
Kids and parents have been known to write some pretty hilarious letters. Here's a look at some fun Tooth Fairy notes, written by kids with questions, and parents who admittedly screwed up, and all the craziness in between.

Handwriting forensics
The next time you want to write a Tooth Fairy letter to your kid, make sure you disguise your handwriting. Young Sara might have a future in investigation as the little girl suspected her father is the Tooth Fairy — and gathered family writing samples to support her case. In the future, try writing with your non-dominant hand, Dad.

"Tired wings"
Do children not realize that the Tooth Fairy stays busy? After waiting for four days to collect her money, a little girl got fed up with the Tooth Fairy — and decided to write a letter. Mom's guilt-ridden response is honest, and likely not a good excuse for her tot.
Fake teeth, fake money
Who do these kids think they're fooling? When Mom discovered her daughter used fake teeth to get money from the Tooth Fairy, her response — including play money for play teeth — is beyond hilarious. Hey, it pays to tell the truth.
Tooth penalties & fees
Hahaha, you have to give this kid an A for effort. He really did try to get $298 from the Tooth Fairy so he could buy an iPad. Too bad that didn't fly, as he received a super funny response — including tooth fees and penalties explaining why that $298 turned into $5.
"I'M STILL WAITING"
Hell hath no fury like a child who hasn't been paid for his tooth. This little boy's stern Tooth Fairy letter plays no games. Give him his money, and give it to him now!

Fairy corpse
After three days passed since losing his tooth, one boy was frustrated the Tooth Fairy never came to give him money. Little did he know the Official Tooth Fairy Corporation sent a customer service letter, explaining the tardiness, and even sending the remains of the Tooth Fairy's corpse — along with double payment for the boy's troubles.
Insufficient funds
Can we keep it real? Money doesn't grow on trees, and isn't always plentiful in a parent's wallet. Mom's Tooth Fairy note explaining her lack of funds is extremely honest, and goes to show that money can be here today and gone tomorrow.
Money for tidiness
Sometimes, a parent needs to encourage the behavior he or she wishes to see — and if that means a little bribery, hey, so be it. Mom was all prepared to pay Emily for her tooth. Too bad her daughter's landmine of a room prevented that from happening. Instead of throwing her hands up, Mom wrote a Tooth Fairy letter that demanded cleanliness, asking for a tidy room in exchange for money.

Bacon, please
Money is wonderful and all, but not always the thing that whets the appetite. Laila's Tooth Fairy note asking for bacon instead of cash is just about the cutest thing you'll read today. Wonder if she's on that Paleo Diet (kidding).
Sleeping Beauty
Shhh, please be quiet! Francesca is trying to sleep. Hoping to get her beauty rest but still capitalize on her tooth, this little girl had no problem leaving her Tooth Fairy note outside her door, along with a funny reminder to keep it down.
Flirtatious note?
Hmm, some don't really know what to make of this one. While it's understandable why the Tooth Fairy would pay less for a tooth the dentist had to pull out, one has to wonder why parts like "handsome dad" are necessary? Is this an egocentric Tooth Fairy note, or does the babysitter have a thing for Pops?

The old "switcheroo"
Just when you think you're going to outsmart Dad, he pulls a fast one on you. A son had no idea his father swapped his tooth for money, before asking him to hide it in a box for the Tooth Fairy to find. Score: Dad, 1, son, 0.
"I need money"
Accidents are going to happen. Sometimes, kids will literally lose their tooth, but still want their money. Annisa happens to be one of those children who's not afraid to keep it real. The Tooth Fairy owes her $1, and she wants her money … now.
Had your period and a headache? Who cares!
"Sorry about your period and headache. I was very and still am disappointed in you." Wow! Tell us how you really feel? Danielle spared no feelings writing this "I don't care about your period" letter to the Tooth Fairy.
