WIBU to keep teeth?

We’re having a sort out and have found a jar full of my DD’s baby teeth. I asked my DH to keep her first tooth when it fell out but didn’t realise he’d kept every one. As they’re all together I couldn’t tell which is the first, and a whole jar of them feels a bit dark and creepy.

What would you do?

FFS throw them away! Why on earth would you keep body parts as a "keepsake"? Utterly revolting!

People Keep the umbilical cord?!
We didn’t keep the teeth, what do you with them?

My parents kept all our milk teeth as well. That was a fun little discovery to make one day when not expecting it.

Tbh op I see nothing wrong with keeping them. People keep all sorts of things like umbilical cord or hair or milk etc. It's very individual as to what is too weird. So I would just do what you want to do. If you don't want to keep them don't, if you can't bring yourself to throw them then just let them stay where they are. I still have some of ds hair taped into a memory book.

I’d just pick one at random and keep it.
