I always wondered why some people I knew had such an easy time after high school with their decisions... "I'm getting married." "I'm going to college." "I'm going on a mission.".... Me? I was always.... ummm maybe I'll do this, or I'll try this for a while.... but never could make a decision - a for sure decision. That involved knowledge and wisdom of sorts.
I had some serious pain in my mouth this week. I finally decided to go to the dentist. The prognosis... Wisdom Teeth are coming in - or in some cases are already in. NEVER will I get frustrated with a baby who is teething again.... IT HURTS! The dentist said "Jamie, you're lucky, you only have 3 wisdom teeth!" To that I say - no "lucky" would be no wisdom teeth at all -- only 3 is abnormal. So I got to work today (and I use the word work very loosely) and look on http://www.webmd.com/ and find this about wisdom teeth:
They are called wisdom teeth
because usually they come in when a person is between 17 and 21 years, during what has been called the "age of wisdom."
because usually they come in when a person is between 17 and 21 years, during what has been called the "age of wisdom."So it all makes sense now... I am nearing 25 - shhhhh dont tell anyone... and just now my wisdom teeth are in, that is why I have lacked the wisdom to make any kind of decision in my life -- because it makes sense that something that feels like a dull object is pushing it's way through your skin would bring that. Plus - really, 17 -21 the age of wisdom... hardly!
So ironically this is the same time where I HAVE to make a huge decision in my life. Man - I hope I can get some wisdom from those teeth before they rip them out!
P.S. Not really a good idea to google wisdom teeth imagines... unless you like looking at pictures of huge extracted teeth and miserable people....
