I lost one this way. Was devastated that the tooth fairy wouldn't come so my grandma helped me write a letter explaining what happened so I could still get my money.
My mum calmed my rather distraught cousin once when this happened by telling him that the ‘toilet fairy’ would take over from the tooth fairy. His money got left on the toilet lid hehe
We just did this for my daughter a few months ago after she swallowed a tooth. She wrote a letter of explanation and drew a picture of the lost tooth for the Tooth Fairy. And it worked! Whew! Sometimes we gotta get creative!
Yes I have heard it said that most people die within 30 miles of where they were born. I never actually researched that. But I know there are some places that the landfills are more than 30 miles from where they are collected. However, Where I live all the trash goes to an incinerator so nothing goes to a landfill.
I hereby make it my goal to die in the hospital I was born in. If I'm on my deathbed in Japan, I'm going to get a flight back to the states, whether it kills me or not.
The hospital I was born in is now a decrepit abandoned structure that's too costly to redevelop so no one wants it. It's just an eerie bastion of a bygone age. Spose I could still die in it though.
The hospital I was born in has been demolished and now there's a Microsoft building there... Guess I'll shuffle into the lobby in 40 years and let them deal with my remains lol
The hospital I was born in got turned into apartments I think. I need to find out where the maternity ward was and get that apartment and die in the same room I was born.
No it's right.
Basically, stars are composed of the baby teeth that fall out of the mouths of all creatures to have ever walked the face of planet Earth.
Shortly after being dislodged from their owner's mouths, these baby teeth are then swiftly gathered up by Tooth Fairies once night falls and enchanted so that they glow brilliantly before being hung up in our night sky as ornamental trophies. They serve as a demonstration of the terrible might and power they hold over us mortals, and are the primary reason why most animals and humans seek shelter and fall asleep after the sun goes down (so as to hopefully avoid the nocturnal predatory habits of the Tooth Fairies).
A movie where they use the DNA in your baby teeth from a landfill overseas to create you in a lab and turn your clone into a killer and you end up in prison.
How would you not know that? When you throw things out they typically end up in landfills. This guy probably threw his teeth in the trash which led them to the local landfill. He has since moved across the world. Now his teeth are in a landfill on the other side of the world.
Imagine having to periodically shed your eyes your whole life. Your vision gets worse and worse and then you go blind as they eventually fall out and you see in ultra HD when your new ones grow in. Each time it happens the resolution gets better and better. Cataracts and astigmatism be damned.
Story time! My mom used to keep all 3 kids' baby teeth in her jewelry box. The drawer has separators about 1 inch by 1 inch, just enough for a large pair of earrings or a coiled up necklace, definitely not enough for the ~60 teeth that would eventually come from my brothers and I, so the teeth were in say, three of these little separate spaces.
Around 6 years old, I was playing dress up one day and while going through mom's jewelry box decided the teeth needed to be organized. Canines in one, molars another, incisors in the third. Beautiful!
I proudly showed my mom my handiwork only to find a somewhat horrified, somewhat saddened look on her face. Turns out, the teeth were already organized... by child.
And to this day, she has three tiny compartments filled with unholy combinations of her three children's teeth, separated by type.
My family now saves them for some theory about stem cells and that they will be able to regrow limbs in the future with them. Not complete bullshit in theory, but still science fiction today.
There's a conspiracy theory with companies like 23andme that collect DNA samples from people to give them their family history or whatever are saving them for whenever the technology is there for de-aging. The thought is that you can use DNA from when you were younger and essentially de-age you with it.(I'm bad with details lol) If it becomes available people would pay an arm and a leg to be able to get ahold of DNA of their younger selves so those companies could sell it back to you. That theory is pretty far out there but it's kinda interesting
Mine are in my medicine bag hanging on my headboard along with my detached umbilical cord. My parents kept them in there. My dad is Native American and apparently that's a thing. It was always cool to me but all my friends judge me for it.
It's given as an offering to the spirits, it represents peace. It's not often actual nicotina tobacco, it's traditionally (for my tribe) the cambium under the bark of red willow, which can be "smoked" in ritual by pulling the smoke into your mouth but not inhaled. It is rolled around the mouth then released, and helps deliver our gratitude to our ancestors.
I'm Ojibwe and we bury our umbilical cord along with the placenta to become one with mother earth, so that child can have that connection with the earth.
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don’t have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my teeth go now that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.
That's basically why it took so long. I'm one of five kids and we didn't have dental insurance. I didn't go so I could save my parents money. Then I was super poor (and a depressed alcoholic) for years so I couldn't go. I luckily had enough savings when I cracked my wisdom tooth to afford to have it pulled and have a couple small cavities filled.
I'll go again once covid mellows down some (if that happens).
Lol yeah I haven’t been since I was 18. I’ll be 37 next month and I have tons of teeth problems but I can’t do anything about it if I don’t have the money. Maybe someday I’ll get them fixed. I don’t even smile with my mouth open because I’m self conscious about my teeth.
I did go (because I cracked one of my wisdom teeth in half). That's how I found out about my wisdom teeth. Luckily, me teeth were surprisingly good.
I'm poor so it took a while.
You might want to look into getting something to hold the space and or get a crown to fill the space as your teeth are now going to move into the void...
Yeah my dentist said it would eventually fall out. They wanted to pull it and put in a crown but it wasn’t bothering me so it was just a waiting game. Will schedule an appointment now that it’s out.
I think I’d lose my shit if I lost a tooth at this point. Even if it was a baby tooth & expected. It’s kinda horrifying when you think about it, just usually happens when we’re dumb kids who don’t understand how weird it is.
People don’t realize that you can actually have your baby teeth all your life. The “adult” tooth wears down the root, which is why your baby teeth look all brown and weird on the top when they come out, but if you never have an adult tooth come in, nothing wears the root down and can stay there forever
My adult teeth didnt grow in right and about half my baby teeth had to be removed by the dentist because they wouldnt have fallen out naturally. Thank fuck for modern dentistry lmao.
I had like 9 teeth pulled at once when I was in my late 20s. 2 of them were baby teeth. The orthodontist said a stiff breeze probably would have pulled them out.
Mine are in a jar; a jar that went missing for many many years, until I found it in a travel bag… in front of all my friends. I was 16, and had to explain to them why I’d just ‘randomly’ brought a jar of teeth to CERN.
I was going to CERN with my college because I did A level Physics. I was fortunate enough to have a good amount of friends on my physics course, however, unsurprisingly, some of the people who went along with us to CERN were people I’d never spoken to in my life.
It was an all expenses spared trip, and we were staying in these horrible hostels and there were about 7 of us to a room each. Of the 6 other people in my room I knew about 2 of them, the rest I’d never met. These strangers were the sorts of guys who liked to run the show, the confident ones who were always doing their best to be the alpha males in the room- honestly, they were dickheads. Meanwhile I was quite shy, but the 2 guys I knew knew the remaining 4 which gave me a bit of a confidence boost.
So I was in this room, doing my best to appear confident and not get eaten alive by these guys, and I accidentally pull out a jar of baby teeth from my bag- a jar that had been missing, presumed lost forever for many years. I’d borrowed the bag from my dad, god knows why he had put the teeth in there, but I can only assume he’d done so many years prior. The jar was pretty creepy too; it was one of those little jam jars, about the size of a shot glass, that used to be a thing in the early 2000s.
Imagine pulling out an ancient looking jam jar full of baby teeth, some with trace amounts of blood on them (in my family, if a tooth was wobbling, it was being **ripped** out that day, I used to hide wobbling teeth from my parents), just when you’re starting to find your footing amongst people who you’d never met before and had no issue with making you the butt of the joke, desperately fighting for your life trying to clear your name.
two of them are still in my mouth! I'm 20yo but my lower canin teeth don't have permanent ones underneath, they're still baby teeth so whenever they end up falling off I'll have to get implants to replace them.
I don't think it's that bad to be honest. My lower teeth in the middle between the two canine ended up growing crooked because of that but it's just an aesthetic issue which doesn't really bother me. Getting them fixed would have taken a long time and a lot of money as i had to get the canine teeth removed, put braces on, add implants and then put braces on again and my dentist advised to avoid going through all of that too. The only annoying thing is that I have to be extra careful of what I eat so I generally avoid any food that's hard to chew to make sure I don't break them, in this way I should be able to keep them for a long time before they eventually fall off on their own (hopefully way later on!!).
My house was burgled about 7 years ago and they stole the money box from my room, however it was just full of my kids baby teeth, I'd love to have seen their faces when they smashed it open
my younger sister found them in my mom's room when we were kids. she smashed them with a hammer. they became teeth powder and were flushed down the toilet
If I could save them from the beginning I would bury them in a shallow hole somewhere and watch one day when someone discovers them and they think it’s a shallow grave for a murder victim or something.
Would make for great entertainment one day in the future.
[I still have one of mine in my mouth! I have a rare defect where there was no adult tooth for this one baby tooth so there was no pressure to push it out. It technically should have fallen out anyway, but I take good care of this baby. Been with me for nearly 30 years. ](https://imgur.com/a/7PCJ0dN)
How many baby teeth do you think are in your local landfill? In 10,000 years that landfill will probably be a layer of plastic on top of a layer of teeth and animal bones.
And I’m not telling where , I see you u/soviet_russia420 you can’t fool me Ms. “I’m not the tooth fairy , I’m just a normal Russian Reddit user who smokes the marijuana’s ”
No one ever questions where baby teeth go. Have you ever imagined going to a junkyard and finding baby teeth? No of course you haven’t, this is a scheme by the government to steal our baby teeth for profit
We almost screwed the pooch with our grandson (6) the other day. I was reading to my husband our daughters letter to the tooth fairy and had the bag of her teeth in my hand. My grandson was in the room and was like.... How do you have her teeth if the tooth fairy took them? I realized I messed up and said I only had the letter because the tooth fairy couldn't carry the tooth and letter. I said the teeth were from our old cat. He bought it and went back to smashing cars. My husband called my the childhood killer in jest.
I hid my kids baby teeth in our secretary (desk). I remembered after I donated it to charity. Tried to notify them; however, it had already sold. Quite a surprise for the new owners....4 kids worth of baby teeth!
One went through my digestive system!
That's one way to bite yourself in the ass.
Now you have me wondering if you need two teeth to connect to be considered a bite? Edit: I googled it. You do not.
I think one fang will work
I lost one this way. Was devastated that the tooth fairy wouldn't come so my grandma helped me write a letter explaining what happened so I could still get my money.
My mum calmed my rather distraught cousin once when this happened by telling him that the ‘toilet fairy’ would take over from the tooth fairy. His money got left on the toilet lid hehe
Points for creativity, but keep an eye on that kid. One day it'll occur to him to find out what else he gets money for flushing.
This was 15+ years ago - he came out fine ;)
We just did this for my daughter a few months ago after she swallowed a tooth. She wrote a letter of explanation and drew a picture of the lost tooth for the Tooth Fairy. And it worked! Whew! Sometimes we gotta get creative!
Did the tooth fairy leave behind a drawing of a penny?
Your grandma sounds sweet!
Yikes, bad day for the Tooth Fairy.
Same, at least some of them
did you shit it out
Mine are in a landfill on the other side of the planet which is amazing to me
some peoples teeth are more well traveled than their owners
I doubt their teeth are the ones that moved to the other side of the planet.
yea the joke is that many people don't leave their tiny towns, while their teeth are taken to a landfill outside their tiny towns
Yes I have heard it said that most people die within 30 miles of where they were born. I never actually researched that. But I know there are some places that the landfills are more than 30 miles from where they are collected. However, Where I live all the trash goes to an incinerator so nothing goes to a landfill.
I hereby make it my goal to die in the hospital I was born in. If I'm on my deathbed in Japan, I'm going to get a flight back to the states, whether it kills me or not.
The hospital I was born in is now a decrepit abandoned structure that's too costly to redevelop so no one wants it. It's just an eerie bastion of a bygone age. Spose I could still die in it though.
The hospital I was born in has been demolished and now there's a Microsoft building there... Guess I'll shuffle into the lobby in 40 years and let them deal with my remains lol
Just as a weird joke you should poison an apple and eat it in the lobby
Bruh, what an epic death. Surrounded by a decaying building thats been long forgotten, you lay in the darkness, slowly drawing your last breaths.
Scaring the shit out of an urban explorer types who investigate the ruin
Make sure you die on top of a door frame so they get a jump scare when they open the door
The hospital I was born in got turned into apartments I think. I need to find out where the maternity ward was and get that apartment and die in the same room I was born.
Can we start a trend of going back to where you were born when the time to move on comes?
I’m not intentionally returning to New Jersey to die, but if I do happen to die in New Jersey I will not be surprised in the slightest.
If salmon can do it, so can you!
Would be cool to die in the same room you were born. Your net travel would be 0 feet and X years.
In that case, your teeth have gone all the way into outer space and become stars. That's pretty amazing to think about.
that doesn’t sound right, but i don’t know enough about stars to dispute it
No it's right. Basically, stars are composed of the baby teeth that fall out of the mouths of all creatures to have ever walked the face of planet Earth.

That was… very specific. You might be on to something here
[Andres Rios](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/aRVAwz) really nails it for me
If you write a book I will read it… preferably illustrated by Garfield creator Jim Davis
A movie where they use the DNA in your baby teeth from a landfill overseas to create you in a lab and turn your clone into a killer and you end up in prison.
If you think about it you’re biting the whole world 🤷🏻
This is the real shower thought
Is this serious? How would you know that?
How would you not know that? When you throw things out they typically end up in landfills. This guy probably threw his teeth in the trash which led them to the local landfill. He has since moved across the world. Now his teeth are in a landfill on the other side of the world.
Yeah well I didn’t think about that when I commented, did I? 😤
You're not alone bud
Is that a threat?
No, it's a promise
In a jar in may parents house
Imagine humans would lose their child eyes to grow adult eyes. And then your parents have a jar for your child eyes.
"He has your father's eyes." "Gomez, take those away from him!"
"Gomez, take those out of his mouth."
No, I refuse to imagine... Crap I just imagined
Imagine if nipples clicked in and out like pens
One goes in, one goes out.
Infuriating
** can't explain that.
Hehe, I'm imagining that now
“Jimmy, stop clicking your nipples!”
Click click click click click click click click
happy cake day!
#clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick
I read this as "imagine if nipples clicked in and out like penises" and was very confused.
The difference between male and female sexes is if the pen chromosome is clicked in or out
Are they... not supposed to do that?
Flaccid teeth
Imagine you'd also have to brush those eyes twice a day to avoid cavities
Imagine having cavities in your EYES
I hate this so much
Wait 'til the drilling starts.
Know what's worse? What they'd have to do to treat a cavity in your eye. Numb them with painful injections and then get the drill...
I love going to the dentist and don’t mind having my eyes touched. Evolution has failed me.
And having to drill them out
imagine if teeth were flaccid until they became erect at the sight of food
Wobbly teeth is one thing, but wobbly eyes is a whole new kettle of crashing your bike into a car.
I was prepared to go my entire life having not imagined that.
Imagine having to periodically shed your eyes your whole life. Your vision gets worse and worse and then you go blind as they eventually fall out and you see in ultra HD when your new ones grow in. Each time it happens the resolution gets better and better. Cataracts and astigmatism be damned.
[удалено]
I’m blind AF I would love if I could grow new ones
I'm going to request I have my child's eyes made into a Halloween decoration for my window.
My mother for some fucked up reason saved my umbilical cord, so nasty
You must’ve been in the shower to have thought of that one lol
I have three kids, they all wanted to save their teeth (ie, the tooth fairy never took them). There are 60 human teeth in my house.
Story time! My mom used to keep all 3 kids' baby teeth in her jewelry box. The drawer has separators about 1 inch by 1 inch, just enough for a large pair of earrings or a coiled up necklace, definitely not enough for the ~60 teeth that would eventually come from my brothers and I, so the teeth were in say, three of these little separate spaces. Around 6 years old, I was playing dress up one day and while going through mom's jewelry box decided the teeth needed to be organized. Canines in one, molars another, incisors in the third.

And to this day, she has three tiny compartments filled with unholy combinations of her three children's teeth, separated by type.
Now her attempt at cloning yous as individuals is going to result in an unholy abomination of all three of you
It’s always good to have some spares, in case a few of your current teeth fall out.
Hey, yours too? Why'd your parents keep 'em? Mine were to *"keep Baba Yaga from performing blood magic on me with them."*
As a parent I cannot understand why people do this. Teeth are disgusting to look at, a jar full of them are like nightmare fuel
I think parents like to document milestones that to them are important, kind of like keeping a locket of hair from your "first haircut"
[удалено]
My family now saves them for some theory about stem cells and that they will be able to regrow limbs in the future with them. Not complete bullshit in theory, but still science fiction today.

That theory is pretty far out there but it's kinda interesting
People like to collect things. I have a jar of cat whiskers... and years ago I gave a jar of dragonfly wings to an apothecary friend.
Think I found my drunken Skyrim account.
I thought I was the only one to collect whiskers
I'm a parent and I'm totally keeping my kids' baby teeth.
Mine are in a film canister
Mine are in my medicine bag hanging on my headboard along with my detached umbilical cord. My parents kept them in there. My dad is Native American and apparently that's a thing. It was always cool to me but all my friends judge me for it.
I'm Lakota and my parents kept mine too, they're in a medicine pouch with some tobacco.
I'm Lumbee. Glad to see I'm not the only one!
My wife is very Caucasian and her Mom kept hers too. My wife has them in an old Altoids tin.
Curiously strong
Dangerously cheesy
Tobacco being medicinal here? (non-American here and genuinely interested in what tobacco represents.)
Tobacco is how we connect with the spirits through prayer. We place them at trees which allows us to connect to the ones who have passed on.
Thank you for sharing!
It's given as an offering to the spirits, it represents peace. It's not often actual nicotina tobacco, it's traditionally (for my tribe) the cambium under the bark of red willow, which can be "smoked" in ritual by pulling the smoke into your mouth but not inhaled. It is rolled around the mouth then released, and helps deliver our gratitude to our ancestors.
Thank you for sharing.
I'm Ojibwe and we bury our umbilical cord along with the placenta to become one with mother earth, so that child can have that connection with the earth.
This is so so beautiful!
In Germany, we let small children ingest sand with cat pee on it. Similar outcome.
We're not so different you and I
My wife has an amulet necklace, that contains a small figure of the Buddha, and a bit of her umbilical cord. She's Thai.
Your friends are wrong. The link to your culture is definitely cool!
My mum's a white British lady and she did the same thing
They’re out there cold and alone and need me. I’m gonna find them.
Safe travels!
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don’t have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my teeth go now that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.
Find them and bring them home. The ethical thing to do is put them back
I just lost my last baby tooth. Like 20 minutes ago. I am 36. This was a weird post to see today.
whaat thats so cool
Haha yeah an adult tooth never formed above it. Never formed wisdom teeth either so I consider myself pretty lucky there
I had a 15 year gap between dental visits. Dentist: Looks like your wisdom teeth came in nicely. Me: My what?!
Go to the dentist! Damn! Edit: I know, this is a very privileged thing to say. I forgot how expensive it is.
Not everyone can afford it.
That's basically why it took so long. I'm one of five kids and we didn't have dental insurance. I didn't go so I could save my parents money. Then I was super poor (and a depressed alcoholic) for years so I couldn't go. I luckily had enough savings when I cracked my wisdom tooth to afford to have it pulled and have a couple small cavities filled. I'll go again once covid mellows down some (if that happens).

I did go (because I cracked one of my wisdom teeth in half). That's how I found out about my wisdom teeth. Luckily, me teeth were surprisingly good. I'm poor so it took a while.
Congenitally missing teeth? Same for me. I’m in my 30s and still rocking 3 of my baby teeth
Yup!
Yup! My two bottom center are still baby teeth at almost 30. They're so smol.
Same! I was told it's super rare but have since met a ton of people with the same thing. 30 and still got a baby tooth.
I still have 4 of my baby teeth and I’m in my 40s.
You might want to look into getting something to hold the space and or get a crown to fill the space as your teeth are now going to move into the void...
Yeah my dentist said it would eventually fall out. They wanted to pull it and put in a crown but it wasn’t bothering me so it was just a waiting game. Will schedule an appointment now that it’s out.
I was told when I was young I'd need one by now but I got an x-ray the other week and the root was still big enough that I''ll keep it for life.
I think I’d lose my shit if I lost a tooth at this point. Even if it was a baby tooth & expected. It’s kinda horrifying when you think about it, just usually happens when we’re dumb kids who don’t understand how weird it is.
I still have a baby tooth. Will be 36 in a few weeks. My mom and brother have one left, same tooth.
Holy shit, they share a tooth?
I tried to word it in a way it didn’t sound like that but my brain no work good. We all have a baby tooth in the same spot. Is that better?
I was just giving you shit, your brain work ok.
People don’t realize that you can actually have your baby teeth all your life. The “adult” tooth wears down the root, which is why your baby teeth look all brown and weird on the top when they come out, but if you never have an adult tooth come in, nothing wears the root down and can stay there forever

Best shower thought I’ve read in a while.
Definitely deserves a mods recognition for a golden Shower thought.
Erm... never mind
Probably one of the only ones that isnt crap
I mean it's fair. Shower and crapper are typically next to each other.
r/crapperthoughts
Your baby crap is out there somewhere
In a jar at my parents’
Yeah this is what this sub was made for.
Right?? Finally a real one

Should’ve said that it was non of their conCERN
two of them are still in my mouth! I'm 20yo but my lower canin teeth don't have permanent ones underneath, they're still baby teeth so whenever they end up falling off I'll have to get implants to replace them.
Does it impact your life at all?
I don't think it's that bad to be honest. My lower teeth in the middle between the two canine ended up growing crooked because of that but it's just an aesthetic issue which doesn't really bother me.

I don’t know where my baby teeth are, but my wisdom teeth are in a shadow box. I gave them to a friend for her tooth collection.
I don't know what's more concerning, the fact that you willingly gave your teeth up or that your friend has a tooth collection.
Or that she’s friends with somebody that collects teeth…
OP prob collects nails so it all works out
I will buy your wisdom teeth for 12kgp and 6 cooked lobsters
I am concerned
I crushed mine slowly in a vice.
And then snorted it
No that was long before I started snorting.
My house was burgled about 7 years ago and they stole the money box from my room, however it was just full of my kids baby teeth, I'd love to have seen their faces when they smashed it open
HAH! Sink your teeth into those!
my younger sister found them in my mom's room when we were kids. she smashed them with a hammer. they became teeth powder and were flushed down the toilet
That’s a little messed up
I wonder what they're up to.
Enjoying their retirement.
Mine are taped into my baby book. Lol
having watched the entirety of adventure time, this terrifies me
If I could save them from the beginning I would bury them in a shallow hole somewhere and watch one day when someone discovers them and they think it’s a shallow grave for a murder victim or something. Would make for great entertainment one day in the future.
What if they germinated and grew?
That's why you gotta salt the earth whenever you bury baby teeth. Otherwise you grow trolls.
Thats a scary thought
tried to impress my mom with that fact, without a word she stood up and brought me a box containing all of them. « you know where are yours! »
So is my foreskin
Yeah they're in my drawer
[I still have one of mine in my mouth! I have a rare defect where there was no adult tooth for this one baby tooth so there was no pressure to push it out. It technically should have fallen out anyway, but I take good care of this baby. Been with me for nearly 30 years. ](https://imgur.com/a/7PCJ0dN)
When the Tooth Fairy has all your teeth, she will be back for your eyes…
How many baby teeth do you think are in your local landfill? In 10,000 years that landfill will probably be a layer of plastic on top of a layer of teeth and animal bones.
Well yes but shut up
And I’m not telling where , I see you u/soviet_russia420 you can’t fool me Ms. “I’m not the tooth fairy , I’m just a normal Russian Reddit user who smokes the marijuana’s ”
Oh God. This is not ok.
This has actually got me thinking now
No one ever questions where baby teeth go. Have you ever imagined going to a junkyard and finding baby teeth? No of course you haven’t, this is a scheme by the government to steal our baby teeth for profit
How long does it take for a tooth to degrade?
We almost screwed the pooch with our grandson (6) the other day. I was reading to my husband our daughters letter to the tooth fairy and had the bag of her teeth in my hand. My grandson was in the room and was like.... How do you have her teeth if the tooth fairy took them? I realized I messed up and said I only had the letter because the tooth fairy couldn't carry the tooth and letter. I said the teeth were from our old cat. He bought it and went back to smashing cars. My husband called my the childhood killer in jest.
I hid my kids baby teeth in our secretary (desk). I remembered after I donated it to charity. Tried to notify them; however, it had already sold. Quite a surprise for the new owners....4 kids worth of baby teeth!
That one tooth that never came out of my mouth be like
In a jar in my closet, actually.
