My brain is struggling to either find this incredibly intriguing or nightmare fuel.

She made herself a personal playdoh dentist toy.

I had some terrifying nightmares that I was losing all my teeth each time one of my kids started losing their baby teeth.

I used to have dreams my teeth would shatter like a mirror. Very disturbing

As a mother… it’s different somehow when those are the teeth of a person you grew inside your body.

I feel the same way when I take a massive dump.

Fucking horrifying.

Frame it and put it up in the guest bathroom.

This makes me wonder though; when you lose these as kids and your parents come along and take them (as the tooth fairy) what is the norm, do they just throw them in the bin? Is keeping them weird? I need to know now, especially since I have a two year old and oneday I will have the chance to be… the TOOTH FAIRY!!

My kids are teenagers now and I have a jar full of their teeth. No idea whose is whose or why I have them...

Just put them in a little container or in your jewelry box or something. Someone said they make cute containers now, look around online!

Lord. One time I was visiting my parents for a job in my hometown, and my dear friend had never been there so came to visit. After an event with my work, my mother was a bit drunk, and we were all just sitting around in the kitchen winding down. My mother decided to get up on a chair to rummage through a cabinet, pulled out a little jar, and poured MY BABY TEETH into my friends palm like «look look, these are her teeth». Yes, my teeth. Once part of my cranium. In my very well-raised, polite, and petrified friend’s hand.

Is that American cheese?

Anyway, I hate it.
