Wanting to keep my child's baby teeth?

[Mummydearest85]

I know it's a bit gross. My mum kept mine and my brothers. I've got dd's in a pretty little box, hidden away. Aibu? Or just a bit weird?!

It was pretty funny and my grammar is shite anyway so feel free to pick away!

I have all but a couple of my son's baby teeth, the other's were lost at school I think. I also have the umbilical cord drop off too, when my son first discovered it in his baby book, it freaked him out and he flung it across the room

Yuck!
I found mine in my dms jewellery box, felt really creepy and macabre, you wouldn't keep any other body parts hidden away! (I realise that's because you don't naturally lose much else but still, rows of tiny bone... Bleurgh)
Dcs have all gone straight from their pillows to the bin.

We need a Pinterest board of ideas
I found ds's recently and let him use them for science experiments involving Coke & other things from his chemistry set. Kept him off minecraft for hours

Oh the coke thing reminds me that in primary school our teacher asked us to bring some old teeth in so that we could put them in coke and other drinks and see what happened. So there must have been a fair few mums that were keeping their children's teeth!

My dad is 85 and has a selection of our milk teeth in a wooden box. I think it is a sentimental thing with him. It is rather sweet.
