AUBREEVISION - Observations from the far side of the dial

It's exciting to have a new tooth appear at 26. Yep, the ol' wisdom choppers are making a late appearance.

I remember when I lost my first tooth, while making princess hats at summer day camp -- rolling cardboard into cone shapes, drenching them with glue and caking them with glitter. The final touch was a strip of wispy fabric stapled to the point. I was teasing a wobbling tooth with my tongue while I worked, until suddenly it wasn't there. A counsellor helped me sponge up the blood and gave me my tooth in a napkin. Not sure what became of the hat.
