A little over a month ago, I had my last 2 wisdom teeth extracted. I had them in my mouth for over 10 years, but decided that I wanted them out. So, as the day approached I started getting a little nervous...DUH! I had to confess to the dentist, while sitting in the chair, that I was a little nervous. I think he got a good chuckle out of that, young little teeny bopper dentist.....ppppffffhhhhh.....Since when did I get older than the dentist??......Whatever!!! Anyhoo, he proceeded with the numbing & extracting & when he was done I asked to see them.


First of all: GROSS!!!....And secondly: HOLY COW!!! Now I totally know why I've been losing my mind......Every brain cell I have has been going to these oh-so-wise wisdom teeth!!!! I'm hoping I will see an improvement in my mind power now that they are gone.
So, as I was looking at these teeth, I asked the dentist if I could take them home. I'm sure he was thinking "what kind of weirdo is this?"-but then I said "I could totally get at least 50 bucks out of each of those suckers!" He laughed & they packaged them up & informed me not to touch them without a good cleaning first as they harbor bacteria....Great that bacteria can be in my mouth, but I shouldn't touch it with my hands!!!.... Wow, I'm analyzing everything!!! It must have been the medication?? So I discreetly slipped my little package into my purse & went home. I showed the kids & my sweet hubby & informed them all that I fully intend to place them strategically under my pillow......Brandon laughed, I have no idea why??? But, due to his little chuckle I think I'll wait until after the Economic Stimulus checks are sent out...so I have a pretty good chance the ol' tooth fairy will have some bulging pockets!!!!!

I'll let ya know how it turns out!!
