17.Goodbye to teeth
This all started a few months ago,when I had a dull pain in the back of my mouth,around where one of my wisdom teeth was supposed to be coming in.I thought it was a pain that I could live with for a while.
However,during the next few weeks,the pain became more intense,spreading to my teeth,gums and jaw.I was told I had seven wisdom teeth.
Yes,you read that correctly,seven-three more than a normal person.My first reaction when
I heard was to laugh.It's just my luck.My mouth wanted to do more work than it had to.
Focusing on the positive,one of the great things about having extra teeth is watching people's reactions when they find out.So far,I haven't grown tired of repeating myself.
The extra teeth are also a good excuse for me being tongue-tied.I can now blame it on my overcrowded mouth rather than my slow brain.
Of course,with wisdom teeth come the intellect jokes.My parents say my intelligence comes from my extra teeth and not my hard work.My friends agree that once the teeth are pulled,my brain will be that of a 5-year-old.
I've also thought about how I might profit from this.If only I still believed in the tooth fairy,I could make a lot of cash.Maybe I could sell my extras to someone in need.Advertisement:Seven teeth for sale,unused,in almost perfect condition.
Don't be fooled by my jokes.I am worried about having surgery.I'm also going to be sad to see the Lucky Seven go.I've developed quite an attachment to them over the past two days.Once they're removed,I'll just be normal again,and who wants that?
