This morning I went to the dentist for my regular checkup. They asked how the surgery went, and I griped a bit about the side effects I experienced and how the oral surgeon’s office didn’t have quite what I was looking for in the customer service area. The dental hygienist thought I was overreacting, I could see it, but since I still don’t have all the feeling back in my chin, I feel perfectly justified in griping. Take that, nice dental hygienist!
Before she cleaned my teeth, I asked her if she could check Mike’s record (he hasn’t been to the dentist in a while) and see if his wisdom teeth were needing to come out, because when I had mine out, he said that no one had ever said anything to him about his. He wasn’t sure if he had some or if they’d come in okay, so she went to check. Before she pulled the file she said, “I’m sure he has some. There’s hardly anybody who has no wisdom teeth.” I’m sure you can see where this is headed. As soon as she looked at his x-ray, she said, “He doesn’t have any!” Lucky jerk. While she was cleaning, we were still chatting a bit about the surgery and she said, “I’ve hardly seen any patients who have more than four.” Great, two freaks in one family! (I didn’t feel so freakish at the oral surgeon’s office when the nurse-type-guy said he’d seen as many as twelve wisdom teeth. Five seems downright commonplace compared to that.)
I am now garnering an army of resentful people who had their wisdom teeth out and hate Mike just for the fact that he doesn’t have any. Let me know if you’d like to join.

I’m in!!!
I haven’t had mine pulled (yet). The top two came in last year, and it was not pretty. I could barely open my mouth, and I had to eat salad one leaf at a time because that’s all that would fit. So I’m in.
whatever.
you are all just jealous of my perfect mouth.
my wisdom teeth weren’t that bad. it was the other three they had to take out due to me not having one permanent tooth that sucked.
Can I join if I’ve only had one out, but am bitter that mine coming in ruined my straight teeth and gave me an open bite?
Let me know, Kari.
If you are bitter about your wisdom teeth at all, you can join. Because Mr. Perfect Mouth over there has NONE.
mike sucks.
I can probably join, though I am more envious than angry.
I covet Mike’s perfect mouth.
I’m in.
I had my wisdom teeth out (ALL FOUR) at the same time as my tonsils.
It was. not. fun.
Mr. Perfect Mouth is going down!
Quick! Someone distract Mike while I give him an Atomic Wedgie.
