Still in debt to the tooth fairy
In a shoebox - long taped shut - I recently found some treasures from my childhood. Amongst the magnetic frogs, .22 bullet, 1961 penny, mangy old tip of a cat’s tail, ‘Jaws’, vials of powder synthesised in Chemistry class, trophy for best forward in under sevens Rugby union, etc I found a small buff envelope. It had “four teeth, Oct & Nov ‘76″ written on it.
Those were the days when the Fashion in Dentistry was to pre-emptively extract the rear molars of adolescents to give the wisdom teeth room to emerge. I’m still waiting for one of them to come.
