Eating Teeth

S1 has lost several teeth now. Unfortunately he has yet to see anything from the tooth fairy for them. When they are loose he doesn't mess with them like a normal kid, so they take a while to actually fall out. Even when they are practically out he won't even let us mess with them. We have just waited to find a tooth lying around. But, the funny thing is, he has now lost five teeth (not counting the two S2 helped him knock two years ago) and we have yet to find a single one. We figure they come out while he is eating and he just swallows them down with everything else. They must be his favorite snack! Is this considered cannibalism?

I think it reinforces my desire to call him a goat, since he will eat practically anything rocks (pea gravel in our front yard), mud/dirt (anywhere), glass (Christmas lights in 2004-no injury to him, just to mom who was getting the glass out of his mouth), latex (broken balloon he managed to find), soy yogurt and cheese (I won't even try the stuff), metal (money that I have to fish out of his mouth), crayons and colored pencils (good thing those are non-toxic, makes an interesting BM), numeral candles (maybe he thinks they are just really blah candy), actual food that the rest of us would consume, and pretty much anything else he can get into his mouth - like chalk and glue sticks. But then he won't eat things like corn! Kids.
