Tooth Fairies Aren't For Adults

The most popular topic I've been seeing around is The Hunger Games. The second most popular topic has been wisdom teeth.

This strikes me as odd. 

Maybe it's just my internet friends reaching the age where wisdom teeth are starting to become a problem. They've never really been one for me. Here's my wisdom teeth story:

The last time I got my teeth checked out, they took an x-ray of my teeth. My brother (the next sibling after me) was also getting his teeth cleaned/x-rayed. The nurse/attendant/people were pretty excited after looking at my x-ray, and they eagerly showed it to the dentist. He got excited, too. And then they saw my brother's x-rays. They went bonkers. 

My brother and I both have only three wisdom teeth. Having one patient with three wisdom teeth is pretty rare, I guess, and finding a brother-sister duo with that is even more rare. Apparently my mother gave birth to three-wisdom-teeth-babies. Needless to say, I was greatly amused by how excited everyone got. It would have made me giggle, had I not had that annoying sucky-hose in my mouth.

And that's my wisdom teeth story. They're still in my mouth. The dentist said I should wait before getting them pulled. My mom still has hers. Maybe I never will. *Flippant shrug*

Oh, and tooth fairies don't care how many teeth you give them after you start growing up. They still won't give you money for them. For this, I continue to eye them maliciously.
