My mom had a couple of my baby teeth in one of her jewelry boxes. Gathering dust with a bunch of crappy jewelry that she never looked at either (maybe it was the proximity to the teeth?)
All they resulted in was another data point in my sister's caboose-child "why didn't they save anything of mine" narrative. It strikes me as one of those things (like, frankly, my dog Lucy's ashes) that you get/keep because it seems significant at the time and not something you want to just toss out - but then what the hell do you
do
with it?
(Note I do not plan to make crappy jewelry out of the dog's ashes.)
Debit, I hate to break it to you, but the tooth fairy isn't really sure what to do with the teeth either.
Signed, Still trying to figure it out, but right now we have 2 locked away and HKF is trying to mine her mouth for more since she's realized it means money.
Ding ding ding, Sox. So true.
My mom kept all my baby teeth, in a little tiny box. I still have it somewhere. It doesn't gross me out or particularly interest me. I've never known what to do with it; it feels like bad luck or something to throw away part of me.
OTOH, maybe I'll try selling them on eBay. Is that allowed?
I am possibly skipping my rehearsal tonight to eat potato chips and watch Hawaii 5-0. Whoops.
It was meant as a Hogfather reference.
What about something symbolic? Plant a tree and bury them in the roots?
I don't think you're allowed to sell body parts on eBay.
My parents just stopped giving me money for my teeth after the first one. Since the tooth fairy didn't exist, it was pretty simple for them. I'm not sure why they bothered starting, but there you go. They weren't the forwardest thinking of parents.
Was there H50 last night? TiVo didn't grab it.
Yes, there was a new H50.
Oooh, and I can watch Glee tonight too. Such freedom, being home on a Tuesday.
Best headline ever? And weirdest story. (But not an ita link.) [link]
You know, apparently it's not actually bath salts like Calgon -- it's code for some nasty drug. I think is what I heard.
Also, I'm sure I've posted about it before, but I believed in the Tooth Fairy for the longest time. Not sure why. Not Santa, not the Easter Bunny, but the Tooth Fairy was totally real. Even though somehow my friends got more money than I did? It's a mystery.
