That is a very fascinating concept that you;ll gain only wisdom when your wisdom tooth appears.

I hope by now your mouth feels better! I love the way you contrast your nephew’s statement with an “unwise” adult decision. Great post. The title drew me to it and you are a very clever writer.

A world filled solely with leader types–or even with just really ambitious, type-A personalities, would be disastrous, or, at the very least, a miserable place to live.
Every once in a while a little voice in the back of my head whispers, “You should be doing so much more”. And I tell it to shut up. I’m perfectly happy where I am.

@christopher – I was imagining the world filled only with leader types while writing the above and concluded that it would be disastrous.

@seagrass – luckily I didn’t get a dry socket!

@stephen – I hate having the taste of blood in my mouth days after the extraction more than the procedure itself. Bleargh!

@naomi – oh dear! wisdom tooth extraction. while pregnant. without anaesthesia. *faints*

Oh, my. Yes. Wisdom teeth. Who thought THAT was a good idea? I sympathize completely.

I had my first wisdom tooth taken out while I was pregnant — read: drugless. The oral surgeon — and I use that term loosely, given that he looked like he’d just taken the SATs — kept saying, “I feel so bad doing this to a pregnant lady!”

No, he didn’t. Sadist.
