Today we have a reader query. A series of notes and stories about these mom-entos will be compiled to run as a feature on Mother’s Day weekend. Send in your stories! Read below.

From baby teeth to a dog-eared driver’s permit, a mother’s memory box for her child can be a strange assemblage of their lives together.
For Mother’s Day weekend, we’re asking moms what saved item will cause their child the most chagrin, shock or embarassment when it’s eventually revealed? An umbilical cord? A bent fish hook? Send a short note about the item and its story to tellus@startribune.com with “memory” in the message field, or write to Kim Ode, 425 Portland Av. S., Minneapolis MN 55488. But be sure to include your name and address.

Deadline for submissions is April 25.

Hmmmm - I have a few curls of hair, and seven of Ben’s first stitches taped to a popsicle stick. Nothing too embarrassing….yet.
What do you have?
