These Teeth Display Gum-ption

(It’s late and I’ve had a hard day, so I’m in a bit of a groggy mood.)

Me: “I think my wisdom teeth are coming through.”

Mum: “How do you know?”

Me: “My gums have been feeling a bit funny lately, and my teeth have been moving out of place. I think they’re closer together. Except for that one.” *I show her* “It’s further away from that tooth than before.”

Mum: “That doesn’t make sense. If your wisdom teeth are coming through, shouldn’t there be less space, not more?”

(I think for a while.)

Me: “I think my tooth saw how all the others were moving and getting squashed together, and it wanted to get ahead of them.”

(I’m not sure if I’m wise enough for wisdom teeth.)
