“Kids delight in ‘magical thinking’, whether in the form of the Tooth Fairy or the saints; whether you see these as comforting lies or eternal verities, they are part of how we help kids make sense of the world.” – Emma Donoghue, Irish playwright
T
hink back to the days when you believed in things like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. For some of us, we’re marginally embarrassed we believed such silly stories, but why wouldn’t we have? As kids, when an adult told us something, we believed them. They wouldn’t lie to us, right? First off, wrong. Adults lie to children all the time. And second off, lying isn’t always a bad thing. We don’t tell our kids that Santa or the Tooth Fairy are real to be mean to them; we do it to preserve the sense of wonder and excitement kids feel for

OK, maybe things aren’t that bad, but you get the idea. But have you ever taken a step back and really thought about how the legends of these characters came about? Especially the Tooth Fairy. Sorry, but the idea of someone sneaking into houses to take teeth is just a bit odd to us. Regardless of how we feel about it, the Tooth Fairy is a legitimate legend and naturally, that piques our interest here at Snippetz so let’s stop wasting time and start brushing up on our Tooth Fairy knowledge!

THIS LEGEND SURE HAS TEETH If you’re like us, you’re probably wondering where in the world the Tooth Fairy came from! As with many similar legends, it depends on who you ask. One alleged origin was posited by Arnold van Gennep, a Dutch/German/French ethnographer and folklorist, who said the legend of the Tooth Fairy was a necessary construct to help ease children through a potentially frightening time in their lives – the moment they begin to lose teeth, which also happens to coincide with three important “rites of passage” children also experience at that time. The first is separation, i.e. the child loses a baby tooth and puts it under his or her pillow. The second is tran-
sition, i.e. the child has a gap in their teeth and at some point in that day, that child goes to sleep. The third is incorporation, i.e. a new tooth grows in and the child receives a monetary gift in exchange for the baby tooth. Without some way to explain the disappearance of that baby tooth, kids would theoretically have a harder time dealing with the rite of passage that comes with losing baby teeth. You’re probably thinking, “That doesn’t tell us anything about where the actual legend came from,” to which our response is, “Calm down.” While it’s possible the legend was created out of necessity, the legend itself appears to draw on several references to become what it is today.
EVOLUTION OF THE TOOTH FAIRY The idea of the Tooth Fairy actually being a fairy likely comes from the fact that fairies have been central in European folklore for a really long time. Interestingly enough, the actual legend of a fairy who takes teeth became more and more popular about the time that Disney movies started to feature fairies, like the Fairy God Mother in Cinderella. But what about the fact that there’s a
Expires: 9/30/2019
creature who steals baby teeth from underneath the pillows of sleeping children? That part seems of greater interest, to us anyway. That particular legend has been around in one form or another all over the world for quite a long time. For example, in most Spanish-speaking countries, the Tooth Fairy is actually a rat or mouse called Raton Perez. Allegedly, the idea was that Raton Perez would take the tooth and in its place would grow a tooth as strong as a mouse’s. Similarly, France has the story of a mouse called the Petite Souris, based on a fairytale from the 1600s. In that story, a fairy turns herself into a mouse to aid in the defeat of a nasty king. Petite Souris hides under the king’s pillow and makes all his teeth fall out. It’s unclear how that led to the king’s defeat but that’s how the story goes. In Scotland, the mouse in the legends is actually a White Fairy Rat who buys the teeth with coins it leaves behind. In Norway, the actually is a Tooth Fairy as well, but it’s called Tannfe and apparently, Norwegians are significantly more considerate than Americans because they take into consideration the fact that Tannfe is very old. Instead of hiding the tooth under a pillow, they place it in a glass of water on a table by their bed so she can find it more easily. The Tooth Fairy... Continued on Page 3

Speaking of helping out the Tooth Fairy or mouse, children in South Africa actually put their baby tooth in their shoe so the mouse can simply snatch it from the shoe and leave a coin or gift in its place. In Italy, they must’ve liked the idea of a mouse and a fairy so much, they used them both. Their Tooth Fairy has a little mouse helper who lives in a palace. For those countries who aren’t into the fairy or mouse angle, the lost tooth was often buried someplace with one of a few dierent motivations behind such an act. The ďŹ rst is that those teeth were buried to allow an adult tooth to grow in its place. Second, many people were concerned about witchcraft and one strong superstition held that if a witch got her hands on a child’s tooth, she could use it to place a curse on that child. By burying it, parents hoped witches wouldn’t be able to ďŹ nd the tooth. For places like Turkey, the tooth was buried in a place that would beneďŹ t them in some way in the future. Say the parents hoped their child would one day become a doctor or surgeon. They would bury their child’s tooth near a hospital, possibly on the hospital prop-
erty, to bring about that result.

Children in Nigeria take part in none of the more closely-related traditions when they lose a tooth. Instead, boys ďŹ nd eight small stones (girls ďŹ nd six) and, along with their baby tooth, hold the stones in their closed ďŹ st. Then they close their eyes, count to eight or six, respectively, say, “I want my tooth back,â€? and throw everything into the air while running away.
My Usage
People who study such things claim that the act of placing a baby tooth under your pillow echoes the tradition of burying your tooth in your yard.
•
Other legends from around the world instruct a person to do one of the following: throw it into the sun, throw it into a ďŹ re, throw it between your legs, put it in a hole near your stove or hearth as an oering to an animal, throw it onto or over your roof, hide it where animals can’t get to it, put it in a tree or on a wall, and have either the child’s mother, the child or an animal swallow the tooth.
• Those who keep track of such things say that about 15 percent of all Google searches are new -- that is, they have never been searched before on Google.
• It may be hard to believe, but there is an oďŹƒcial competition to see who can sit in a sauna for the longest period of time. The World Sauna Championships have taken place in Heinola, Finland, annually since 1999. The starting temperature is 110 F, and a liter of water is poured on the stove every 30 seconds. The winner is the last person who is able to leave the sauna without assistance. Competitors participate at their own risk, and they are required to sign a waiver agreeing not to take legal action against the event organizers.

FUNDRAISING FOR SCHOOLS, GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS By Michael Sherman (4kidzsports)
O
nce again it’s that time of year, school teams and local organizations such as the Girl and Boy Scouts are rolling out their fundraising campaigns all across the city. They use the usual sports cards, which cost between $20 and $30 and the BOGO Blue cards for $10 – one of my favorite. The kids and parents usually set up at King Soopers, Safeways and Walmarts throughout the city. Many of the conscientious kids will even go door-to-door. God Bless them all! The cost of sports, uniforms, equipment and travel has gone through the ceiling, so fundraising is a necessary evil to help support these programs. But what else does it offer in the way of education and training. I venture to say that not all kids are “born salesman”. To some the task of asking for a donation comes easy, to others – especially the shy ones, the chore is painful . However, the education kids get from learning how to fundraise and basically “pay their own way”, to me, is invaluable. Teaching kids the social skills needed to walk up to a perfect stranger, smile, explain their program, then ask for a donation is a benefit that will stay with them for life. Having the ability to “pay their own way” is not only rewarding, but enables a youngster to “fend for him or herself” when necessary.
I remember working with one of the local hockey teams – what a hoot. These kids were extremely motivated. We set up at one of the local King Soopers, gave each of the kids the BOGO cards (to me one of the best fundraising programs in the city), some instruction and discussed with them what to say, then cut them loose. They were relentless. In fact, one of the little guys – an 8 yr. old, had to be slowed down. He would follow people into the store, discussing his love of the game and pleading with them to please donate $10 dollars to help out his team. The kids even carried grocery bags to the cars. And did it work? They raised over $1100 in 5 hours. I was very proud of their work ethic, diplomacy, energy, and drive. They learned that a smile goes a long way. They had a great time and “earned” the money they needed to play their sport. Each year a man who coaches from the confines of a wheelchair, “Joe Debyse”, calls me up to supply him with the BOGO cards. His kids basically support their own softball program with equipment, fees, and travel expenses. Without fundraising the families of these kids could not afford it. What they learn teaches them a skill and enables them to play the sport of their choice.

Remember, you don’t have to be an expert, just have a solid knowledge of a skill. I would suggest that you think about the classes you’ve taken and list each subject area as a skill. After you start connecting with others on LinkedIn be sure to endorse the skills of those connecting with you. Generally, when you visit their profile, LinkedIn will ask you to endorse them – do! This will get them to endorse you for your skills.

1. Profile Picture: The key to a great profile picture is to look professionally personal. Generally, you want a shot that shows you from the shoulders up with either a neutral background or an office setting. Professionally personal means you should be dressed – in the very least – business casual and have a great smile. When you take the picture, think of a moment with a great friend. The thought will give you a warm smile that people can connect with. Don’t use the kind of profile picture you generally see on other social media sites, like Facebook, and never use a picture that has other people in it. You guessed it, that means no photos with your boyfriend or girlfriend in them.

LinkedIn works similarly to other social networking sites, but instead of connecting you with friends and old classmates, it connects you with other professionals in your field. LinkedIn also offers users the ability to job search and connect with potential employers.

especially important for those of you with limited experience. You’ll want to have a minimum of two paragraphs that tell potential connections who you are and what you want to do. Think of this as your LinkedIn cover letter. Rather than speaking to what you can do for a company, you’ll write about your passion for your chosen industry. Be sure to include a little personal history. Of course, you want to be careful to not over-share. Give them just enough to let them know you’re an actual person.
5. Recommendations: Recommendations are like testimonials on a website. These are people taking the time to say a few words
3. Experience: This is where it gets a little more difficult when you don’t have a great deal of experience. The trick here is to break apart your responsibilities and accomplishments into bullet lists. For each position you’ve held, write one or two sentences about the position and then think of four to five responsibilities and/or accomplishments and put them in list format. This will fill out your profile nicely and make it easy for potential employers to read. As someone that’s done a great deal of hiring, I can tell you that I’ll take a little time to read your summary. However, unless I’m hiring for a senior level position, I’m not going to spend a great deal of time reading

about how amazing you are. Recommendations are still – and likely always will be – more highly respected than endorsements. You can imagine why. So, ask anyone that has worked with you to give you a recommendation on LinkedIn after connecting with them. Absolutely do ask your professors if they’d be willing to give you a recommendation. 6. School: adding in your education is an important aspect of any new or old LinkedIn profile. If you have finished a certificate, associate degree or bachelor’s degree it is worth mentioning in your LinkedIn profile. Volunteer Experience, Projects, and Certifications -- show potential employers or potential clients your values.
