From ancient customs to Disney magic: the journey of the American Tooth Fairy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:26:31 GMT

ST. LOUIS -- The idea of the Tooth Fairy, a uniquely American concept, emerged from a blend of various cultural traditions, infused with a touch of Disney magic. However, the practice of disposing of baby teeth has roots dating back to medieval times, with different customs such as burying, swallowing, or even setting them on fire. In Ireland, it was believed that fairies would swap a child with their teeth, known as changelings.The origins of the American Tooth Fairy can be traced back to an 18th-century French fairy tale called "La Bonne Petite Souris" or "The Little Good Mouse." The story revolves around a small rodent that sneaks into your house while you sleep, deftly carrying a coin or bill. Its destination is your bedroom, where it skillfully hides under your pillow, replacing your lost tooth with money.The first mention of the tooth fairy appeared in The Chicago Sunday Tribune on September 27, 1908, in an article titled "Practical Housekeeper's Own Page." It described how ch...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:26:31 GMT

That was big milestone for us.”DU’s 8-7 win over Maryland early in the season March 5, the Pios’ first-ever win over the Terps, foreshadowed the history that the program would accomplish this year.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:26:31 GMT

The first chapter of the 2023 Western Conference Finals certainly didn’t lack for thrills. But it did lack defense.The Nuggets escaped Game 1 with a riveting 132-126 win over the Lakers on Tuesday. Still unbeaten at home in these playoffs, Denver has an opportunity to move the series to Los Angeles with a 2-0 lead Thursday (6:30 p.m. MT, ESPN) at Ball Arena.Here are three keys to Game 2 victory:1. Rescue Jamal Murray from LeBron Island: The Lakers must have watched the film of Aaron Gordon guarding Karl-Anthony Towns and Kevin Durant in the first two rounds, because they wanted none of that. Los Angeles designed actions throughout Game 1 to isolate LeBron James against Jamal Murray, and it became one of their most effective forms of offense. James shot 5 for 5 when he drove against Murray. Three times in the first quarter, the Lakers got Murray switched onto James. The all-time scoring leader could back down Murray and put his shoulder into the Nuggets point guard with ease. T...
