    None of you necromancers are talking bout your bone collecting. My mom used to keep wish bones from turkeys and refuse to break em cuz “bad luck”. Told her she had it backwards lol

      My mom saved all of our baby teeth. They’re in a box in a hidden drawer in her dresser. I found them 35 years ago when we were doing a cleanout/reorganization and I happened to open up a box full of teeth.

      “Mom? Are these teeth? Why are you saving teeth?”

      “Those are your teeth. Yours and your brother’s.”

      “But why are you keeping teeth?”

      I can’t throw away part of my children.

      It would sound sweet if it weren’t also more than a bit Bates Hotel.

      I bet they’re still there. The teeth. She’s 80 now. I wonder if my brother knows they’re there. I wonder who will inherit the teeth.
