I remember being scared out of my wits when I got my first loose tooth - I got it eating an apple when I was 7-8ish. I also remember how my mom took it upon herself to yank it out when it wasn't ready to come out - I remember twisting, pulling, and rough wiggling to jostle that tooth loose. By the end, I was screaming blue murder - and no, the dollar under my pillow did not make up for it.
I also remember losing my last tooth - was a huge tooth, and I actually still have it in a little box somewhere in my room. I never had a tooth knocked loose or knocked out, and thankfully I never let anyone pull my loose teeth out for me again.
On a side note, most people have 32 teeth right? I only have 24. It might be because I've never grown any second molars or wisdom teeth. Is anybody else like that?
I counted mine...I seem to have 28 *huhh?* Sooo, you're not alone. If this means I won't get my wisdom teeth, then I say 'hooray' :)
