The other evening my wife and I were talking about her mother whom died last month and she took out of her handbag a knotted piece of white cloth and said that it contained some of her mother's teeth.

Apparently they had been removed and shared out between her children for Good Luck.

Ubonwan has 3 of them, she said one for her and one for our son and if I wanted I could have the remaining one if I paid for it to be put in gold at a Temple. I didn't know what to say so just said 'maybe' and it was left at that.

Does anyone else know anything about sharing the teeth of the deceased among their children?
