Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale! This week in the Shop, Kara finally discovers where the tooth fair comes from...Or does she?
Stop in and listen as Kara tells us about different cultures and their customs around the teeth their children lost. Hear a bit about the Native American, Chinese, and Viking traditions around losing teeth, and if you stick around, we have a great Folk Story from the French that may explain the origin of the tooth fairy, and its get a bit dark...and mousy.
