#i used to read multiple times a day #or at least once a day #but now I've got kiddos so i have to settle for a few times a week

Just saying Bruce is one hundred percent the kind of dad to keep a twisted part from the first time Dick drove (and crashed) the Batmobile, just the symbol from Barbara's original home made bat costume, the first Batarang Jason ever threw (correctly, still got a smudge of blood on it), his tooth from when Tim knocked it out with the Bo staff, one of Stephanie's many Robin headbands (she was slightly obsessed), a printout of the first file Cass typed up herself, and the crossword puzzle from the first time he and Duke met.

#Alfred: And you mock my scrapbooks#Shrugs#this came about when I (very freaked out) learnt that my cousin has her kid's baby teeth#that's weird no doubt#I was going to go even weirder for Bruce's memorabilia#but I decided against it in the end#batman#dc comics#bruce wayne#batfamily#batdad

Okay, but I don't think that's weird? My Mom kept all of my baby teeth in a little tin for years.

You know what I'm curious.

Is it weird for a parent to keep their kids baby teeth?

No, my parent(s) did this.

No, I'm doing this.

Neither I nor my parent(s) did this, but it doesn't bother me.

Neither I nor my parent(s) did this, and I think it's weird.

My parent(s) did this, but I still think it's weird.

Please reblog for a larger sample size, I'm genuinely curious.

I feel slightly honour bound to educate myself, so chip in guys with the cultural norms for you. My parents personally tossed the baby teeth (while holding them with tissues or gloves) at the first opportunity/my sister and I buried hers for fun (but I'd never before heard of someone keeping them).

This is getting really off topic from Batman...

My family didn't keep the baby teeth, but I never thought it was a weird thing to do. But I wanna chime in with my culture shock moment.

I'm American but now I live in Japan and my son was born here. The hospital gave us a couple "souvenirs" when he was born including a nice little box with about an inch and a half of his umbilical cord. It's a normal thing to keep over here but I found it super weird and now I have this nasty, dry umbilical cord I don't know what to do with. But at least the box is cute.

Are there any other cultures that do this?
