Sorry about the tooth River! It sounds miserable.

I may have had to have the toenail removed - and it hurt - but I don't have any wisdom teeth! I was lucky to have been born with zero. All four of my siblings had all four that had to be removed because they were impacted.

Now, I had four boys and when they were born, I said, "You are blessed with no wisdom teeth!" The oldest had one, the second, two, the third had zero, and the last had two. So out of a possible 16, we only ended up with five - and I'd say that is pretty good.

The funny side of this story is that my husband had to have a colonoscopy at a much younger age than most men because a sibling had some polyps. He ended up having some also, so he is on the three year colonoscopy schedule, and his sons will have to start having them at the age of 35!

So I remind my sons that there mother gave them "no wisdom teeth" and their father gave them colonoscopies!!!
