I was hoping the humor would come through. Sometimes my sense of humor is lost on people.

We *do* the Tooth Fairy here. When my dd12 was around 8, she discovered her baby teeth that I had saved. They were in her "special box" of baby momentos. I had taped them to the inside, then like a "genius", I put it in her closet. She got sentimental one day and decided to look through her baby stuff on her own. She came to me, very upset, with her findings. It's really hard to come up with something, on the spot. And she's not the gullible type, so that ended the Toothfairy with her. Unfortunately she can put 2 and 2 together, so that brought the demise of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. *sigh*.
We still have 3 believers in the house, though, so I only save one baby tooth each, in MY drawer.

I kept all my daughter's teeth. It was lucky because she decided to write a note to the tooth fairy asking for the old ones back. I blogged about it here...

I know this is late, but my dh goes through about one jar of Tiger Balm every few months ( or I go through it rubbing his back  ) and I just couldn't see throwing all of those cool looking jars away. So I cleaned them out and started a jar for each child with their initial on the lid in black sharpie. My dh thinks I'm cuckoo, but I just can't bring myself to toss them. With them hiding in my little jars all in a row on a top shelf in my room, they are neat, tidy, compact, and inconspicuous. (I hope I spelled that right  )
I've gotten to where I've forgotten them under the pillow so many times, that I now have the dc leave it on the microwave so the fairy doesn't have to look under so many pillows to see who lost one . It helps me to remember to make the switch too

In our house, I'd chunk them, but dh has saved every one of the children's lost teeth. He has them labeled neatly and precisely in a brown manilla envelope and stored in some location that only he knows - probably filed with his important papers. I never touch a file anc couldn't find a thing in one if I tried.
I'm not quite sure what anyone will possibly do with them later. He also keeps charts of height, weight, and any other such accomplishments. (I think I accidently threw out his written notes - that inclued even the time of day each child was born - think it was on a calendar or something that I cut up for the holy pictures. OOps, it really was accidental). Somewhere he has graphs of height and weight for each child. At least he didn't just write height marks on the wall with weight, date and name next to them on the wall in pen as his dad did when they were growing up (of course if he had, I might not have accidently thrown it out).

Oh forgive me but I just had to chime in here...
Doesn't everyone drill itty bitty holes in their children's teeth to make a necklace they can wear when they graduate from high school?
LOL Just joshing you.. I used to keep the older one's and then I decided it was another clutter thing when I couldn't tell whose was whose any longer from bad labeling or filing if you will. Oh the things we keep! How about wisdom teeth? Our big married kids saved theirs but never wanted anything to do with keeping other teeth. Strange huh? :)

Here we are, four month's later, and we STILL do not have a wiggle on any of them!
Poor kid probably won't be able to eat corn on the cob this summer!!
Angi, just write gullible across my forhead. When I read the post about your daughter having an extra thumb, of course I believed you......
