Wisdom

As in teeth.

I almost forgot to take a moment to publicly humiliate my dear brother... again. Two weeks ago Clay had his wisdom teeth removed, and my dad sent me this picture from his cell.

Lookie, they have fancy-pants ice packs nowadays! In my day, we were lucky to have some gauze shoved in our cheeks and sent on our merry way.

Gauze?! Och, we should be so lucky. We had to pull our own teeth out with our bare hands, then had to find a scrap of old newspaper from a trash bin while walking home to use. Gauze... hmph.

Clay is healing up fast and well. Too bad I didn't get to pinch his chipmunk cheeks. :)
