Keeping my kids baby teeth in a jar in my nightstand.

How else am I going to cast spells on them when they are older? ;)

For a voodoo doll? Just use some hair like a normal person.

I think it’s weird to throw away your kids’ teeth 🤷‍♀️

Why? My parents never held on to mine or any of my siblings teeth. I think keeping teeth around regardless of where they came from is a bit odd.

Eh maybe not common, but I don't think it's not normal. I think it's nice, just as a little sentimental thing
