142 Tooth

142 Tooth

Object: Half of one of my baby teeth

Acquired: Birth

From: My mouth

Notes: Is there anything creepier than keeping half of one of your baby teeth? Do I tag this as something I made? Why do I keep it in my jewelry box? WHY DID I KEEP IT in the first place??!!

Actually, I think it's a little bit neat that I have even half a tooth. I mean, it's a bit creepier than keeping, say, your first cut lock of hair (which I believe my mom has in an envelope somewhere), but for some very odd reason every time I see this half-tooth I think how sad I'd be if I owned none of my baby teeth.  The whole tooth-fairy thing is to help kids NOT DO THAT, of course, but...I dunno. Maybe I can make it into a really creepy memento necklace someday. Something for the grandkids to treasure.
