This week we read about different tooth traditions. My favorite was Turkey. In Turkey the parents of the kid that loses the tooth buries the tooth in a place that represents what they want their kid to be when they get older. For example if they wanted their kid to be a teacher they'd bury the tooth in a school yard.
This is different than what my family does when I lose a tooth or one of my siblings does.
In my family when someone loses a tooth we put the tooth under our pillow at night (after cleaning it) and at 11:11, my mom says that's when the Tooth Fairy comes. My dad says we have to be asleep by midnight or else she doesn't give you any money, she just takes the tooth.
What people do in Turkey is definitely different than what my family does.
