In Armenia, when a baby’s first tooth arrives, often in four to seven months, a celebration takes place known as the “agra hadig” or “atam hatik”. As part of the celebration, objects（物品）related to different professions(职业) are placed in front of a child. Whichever object a baby chooses first is thought to be a sign of where the child’s professional talent lies.
With the appearance of teeth, a child can begin to eat solid food. It is believed to be a proper time to predict what the future holds.
“Parents may ‘arrange’ the future life of their children by offering only those objects that stand for respectable professions,” said Professor Antonyan from Yerevan State University. “A book for a writer; a pencil for an artist or a designer; a coin for a businessman.” Parents can also game the selection by putting objects nearer to or father from their kids’ reach. At one recent celebration, “the father of the baby asked to place a ladle(长柄勺) a bit far from his daughter to save her from a future of a housewife,” Antonyan said.
In the earliest written records of the event, from the 19th century, just two objects were put before the teething child. But the prediction then was not about an adult profession. In the event, holding a knife meant a brother was on the way, a comb or a mirror a sister.
“The prediction for the future profession was developed in the modernized environment of Soviet Armenia when the future career would determine the baby’s life,” Antonyan said. Today, teeth-shaped cakes, toys and balloons are popular party favors at these celebrations.
