I'm also reminded of Flylady and her 'super fling boogie' where people post to the website with all the things they were unaccountably keeping and have now got rid of. I am always particularly amused by the thousands upon thousands of human teeth; the first time I read it I cured myself of that particular insanity and threw those I'd been keeping away -- but every time one of my babies loses a tooth I still think, oh, I should keep that. No.

My best fly-lady esque moment was having a clear out and discovered a bottle that waggott had filled with blood. On a skiing trip. And then brought home and kept...

As fly lady would say .. "Flung"

A few years back [livejournal.com profile] bugshaw was having a purge of sentimental kipple and came across one of her late Dad's baby teeth. She ummed and ahhed over this, but eventually decided it was too icky to keep.

"It's no good," she said; "I don't want the tooth."

I couldn't help myself:

"That's because you can't handle the tooth!"

It was actually quite a large gold tooth. I kept it because I don't know how one might pass on such a thing to someone who wants it for the gold.

I have just taken possession of my late grandfather's old desk (grandmother moving into home and selling house) and at the back of it was a small paper bag with one of my baby canines. I'm not throwing it out now - and Small was fascinated.

I haven't been able to toss my own baby teeth out, but part of that's because my Mom saved them. (Don't worry, I have plenty of other stuff that I'm getting rid of first -- and it's usually bigger, too.)

I like the photo suggestion. I'm also of a mind that such small things don't take much room by themselves and thus can easily be passed on now and tossed later, as needed.

Small tat -- yes, indeed. The photography is particularly handy for great big tat, like handmade things.
