Open Letter

Dear Little Wisdom Tooth That Has Randomly Popped Up,

Thank you SO much for showing up in my latest x-ray. Really. I wasn't really that excited to not have a gaping hole at the back of my mouth. But then you came along, and now I just can't wait until you squeeze your way into my row of perfectly straight-after-2-years-of-braces teeth. Seriously, they'll welcome you with open arms. Even though they don't have arms and neither do you, you can imagine them since you seem to have that capacity with a name claiming to have wisdom. It won't hurt that much.

But actually, what is with your name? Do you really have wisdom? Or are you just trying to mislead people? If you do have wisdom, then why do those darn dentists insist on taking you out? Not so full of wisdom, are you now.

Although the dentist say that you may not have to come out and that they'll check again in a few years, I'm sure you'll get yanked out and leave a nice lovely bleeding hole. And then when you're out we can be the best of friends. You'll be the nicest one I've ever had!

Sincerely,
Ecstatic Teen Who Didn't Have Any Wisdom Teeth At All Until You Showed Up
