Kaveri’s tooth has been bothering her all week while on holiday in Kannur.

The new is pushing out the old.

Now it’s out

It seems that in Italy (Ilaria is with us) and England (I’m the official representative) children are encouraged to place the tooth under their pillow.

A mouse (really?) or fairy will replace it with a coin, or so we think. if that happens, will there be an Italian or British coin? Mmm

We’ll see, maybe.

Here in India, we’re told, the tooth gets wrapped in cow shit and thrown over the roof. Who knows what happens after that.

Someone might be pulling our leg.

The very next day

A coin appeared under Kaveri’s pillow.
