It's not the dark side. It's the shadows, where our vision works best. Too much light is just as blinding as not enough. Take your son out for a celebratory ice cream. You can still be a non believer, just don't be so cheap and miserable about it.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(jared2 @ May 19 2006, 04:35 PM) [snapback]258227[/snapback]</div> Not to worry, when my son complained that he dutifully put the tooth in a container under the pillow, went to sleep and behold in the AM the tooth was still there I suggested he write a letter to the tooth fairy. Being a reasonable kid he did. (he he buying me some time he he) The note questioned what had happened to the tooth ferry. Ooooooh my well it seemed a return letter was in order (very evil grin) The letter went on about how the ferry was broken and so could not bring the tooth fairies over to do their duty. The ferry would be fixed in a day or two and please be patient. If he was patient a reward would be forthcoming. In the meantime he lost another tooth, so when the fairy did come it left 3 one dollar bills on the table near the two teeth.

Turns out the bunny "hid them in a different place" (read Dad stalled them with a fake hunt upstairs while Mom covered our butts downstairs).

Yes, the Tooth Fairy does exist. I met the author who wrote this book about his personal encounter with the Tooth Fairy. Fooling the Tooth Fairy I do not suggest using a box. A box is not traditional and does not guarantee a visit from the Tooth Fairy. You really must use a pillow. However it does not necessarily have to be your pillow. Tooth fairy pillow Dog Tooth fairy pillow If your son is really interested in teeth and the Tooth fairy, I recommend this book: Throw your tooth on the roof

Unlike some, I'm confident enough in that I don't feel the need to express I didn't fall for it either.
