Human teeth.
Okay, folks. Spill it. Why does the tooth in the below post creep everyone out so much? I hadn't anticipated that reaction. Though I suppose an unidentified human tooth in your child's mouth isn't so pleasant when you put it that way . . .maybe not such a good idea for a children's book? :)

I don't know. Maybe I'm the weird one who wasn't really all that creeped out by it. It could be that I have experience finding much more disgusting things in my children's mouths.

Amy, I'm sitting here laughing my head off at that. You must share. And yes, I do think I have found worse things in my kids' mouths. Dog poop might take the cake.
Ew, dog poop? Really? Finding the tooth in the classroom might be a little bit more palatable if you leave out the part about C putting it in her mouth.
A tooth to me would be like finding a toe or finger tip or something. Kind of like putting someone else's fingernail clippings in your mouth. Ew.
(As I'm typing this my face is totally scrunched up in disgust and Mark just asked me what was wrong!)
Hmmm...yeah, that's pretty gross. It kinda reminds me of the time my younger sister found a toe in the Molalla River. Ewww. Luckily it never found it's way in her mouth. Double ewww.
A toe?! A human tooth reminded you of a toe in the river?! That is the most disturbing thing I've heard in weeks. It's totally going to be in my next short story.
Sweet...I'll let me sister know. lol
It's not that gross. She was probably just eating the evidence. . . smart girl.
