what do you do with the teeth? It feels strange to me to throw them out. But it also seems creepy to keep them. What do you do?

I have all my adult teeth now. I should imagine I'd throw them in the bin now if any got knocked out. I usually got 20p a tooth when I was little. Once a friend of mine through a plastic ball at me by accident and knocked my two front teeth out. Because I was brave, I got £1.

That's where my kids' teeth are. Mine are 13 and 9.

I don't know what I'll do w/ them either.


Maybe I'll pour soda on them and see if a miniature civilization develops that thinks I'm their god.

The burglars are in for a shock

I've been keeping my daughter's teeth in my jewelry box too. I don't know why I'm keeping them, but I can't seem to throw them away. I just thought maybe I was weird!

My kids are all Krunk....so their baby teeth are all platinum and diamonds....

pardonme4livin said:

I'm sorry....

...Could you repeat that in English...

..I just googled Krunk and I must have the wrong meaning

Steadwood said:

Oh you probably had it right... EastSide Boyz....Lil Jon .....






I am teasing ofcourse.....

pardonme4livin said:

Well if I combine the 2 explanations I found it means "Crazy Drunk Gorillas"...

..and I'm sure that ain't quite right

Steadwood said:

Oh they can be Crazy gorillas..... but no....not what I meant.....

Steadwood said:

Found a better definition for ya.....

krunk 442 up, 190 down

Originally derived from the two words: "crazy drunk".

Severe intoxication or getting drunk; a very fun or enjoyable time; also used to describe something cool, hip, or fashionable;

Yo, I'm on my 8th shot... this party is krunk!
Last night was krunk...
Homegirl's outfit is krunk!

It has also become the definition of specific dance styles, attire and grills...aka "MOUFF jewelry"....

pardonme4livin said:

I thought it couldn't be right..

...I mean where do the Platinum and Diamonds come in ...


..Strange how a topic can veer off course...

..I haven't got the faintest clue what I'm talking about anymore ..

Steadwood said:

Sorry for the tangent Apples... but okay Steady... there is a new fashion statement in music called "grills, or grillz" which are also known as mouff jewlry or for the ebonically challenged...mouth jewelry. They are made from gold or platinum and are often encrusted with diamonds and other precious gems....

pardonme4livin said:

...Now I got it.. ..er....I think..


...Thanks....er...Krunk..

i have all 4 childrens entire sets of baby teeth

though i didnt play tooth fairy

my mom kept the ones that i lost at her house. i think she still has them in a little box in her bedside table

i'm pretty sure my dad threw them out since that stuff creeps him out a bit.

That sounds like Part V of your life story right there!!

2the9s said:

oh part V is brewing but i've been majorly tired lately. i have had more energy recently, though.

my mum gave all mine to me when I moved out of home and I threw them out

My wife has them tucked away somewhere.

If you are "daring" enough...there's a company that will gold plate them and make JEWELRY out of them for you.

we kept our firstborn's navel stump in a little box, but after a while thought it was a bit gross and threw it out

ZombieKitten said:

...I think that my wife STILL has my kids' navels somewhere.

We never found my daughter's naval stump when it fell off. I think my cat may have ate it! Gross!

ZombieKitten said:

still have my kids


would it freak people out to know you can also keep the placenta if you wish ...

it's a very powerful thing

i have two of my own wisdom teeth, does that count??


lol my mother kept our horrid teeth
do you remember a candy container that looked like a treasure chest?
i think once upon a time i had put my tooth in there for the tooth fairy
then later i stumbled upon the yellow plastic box in the silverware chest
opened it up to reveal all these disembodied teeth... kinda freaky!

We kept my kid's first lost tooth for nostalgic purposes, but beyond that keeping them seems wierd to me.

I have my baby girls teeth and her navel stump. the teeth are in my jewelry box and the navel stump is wrapped in soft leather, and cotton in the bottom of my sock drawer.

My friend insisted I keep her navel stump for some mystical reason and I don't know why I still have her teeth, she found them the other day and was like um mom why do you still have these. I told her I couldn't bear to throw them out yet. It's like we wait for those first teeth to erupt and then can't part with them when they are useless.

Notice how we all have them in jewelry boxes? what's up with that?
