For me, it’s so strange to be growing a tooth at my age. But along with the strangeness, I feel a little bit of excitement (haha).

Okay, I am talking about my wisdom tooth that is inching its way out of my gums. Gladly, it doesn’t hurt that much, unlike what other people experienced.

The funny thing is, I just discovered it this morning at the office, while I was drinking my calamansi juice. My tongue curled its way up to my upper left gum, and there, it felt a protruding hard thing. At first, I thought my gum got infected or maybe wounded. But when I poked that part with my finger, I felt the familiar feeling I had when I was still a child. Do you still remember how excited you were when a new tooth comes out of your gums? Hahaha, I felt that nostalgia and having realized that I am growing my first wisdom tooth, I smirked to myself.

And then I texted my friend, saying that my wisdom is now more superior than his because of a tooth! Hahahaha! My friend, who is ever proud of himself (oh well, men always feel this way) answered back and said ‘how sure are you that you get to have a better wisdom when that tooth comes out?”

And so, my finger itched and typed on the internet search key ‘wisdom tooth.”

According to http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/kbase/topic/mini/hw172025/overview.htm, wisdom teeth are the upper and lower third molars, located at the very back of the mouth. They are called wisdom tooth because usually they come in when a person is between age 17 and 21 or older—old enough to have gained some “wisdom.”

I am 22, going 23 so that makes me a wise one! Hilarious eh? Ah, whatever.

So there, I don’t know how many days the tooth will totally come out but I’m looking forward to it.

How good life is, where people acquire a level up on their wisdom through a tooth.
