I... I don't even know anymore.

So the left side of my jaw has been feeling really stiff for the past few days. Last night I looked at the back of my mouth, and I can see at least one of my wisdom teeth on that side trying to erupt.

In other words, I grew a tooth and didn't notice.

WTF, mouth.

Ooh, wisdom teeth. Fun times. I had mine pulled a couple years ago, but I still feel like I have two growing in on the bottom. Which is uncommon, but not unheard of (my dad had one grow in after four were removed). I hope you don't need to get them removed. My brother + their drug cocktail = messy, messy, crying wreck.

If they actually grow in I may just need them yanked in a dentist's office, as opposed to surgically removed, which would be a lot better really (I've had molars pulled before, and while it wasn't the most fun experience of my life, recovering from that is a lot easier than recovering from oral surgery). On the plus side, they don't seem to be growing sideways or I'd probably be noticing a lot more pain. It kind of just feels like when I got my twelve-year molars in, except only on one side since the other two are completely uninterested in surface life.

Also, you are a shark. No matter how many teeth they pull, you'll just keep growing more.

I still wonder about my wisdom teeth - they're still just sitting way back in my gums. I think they feel like it's not worth the effort.

Lazy bastards.
