I still have a baby tooth.  Due to some genetic malfunction there was not an adult tooth to replace it, and its small baby-toothness has remained in my mouth far longer than it was supposed to.  Finally, the time has come for this baby tooth to fall out.  I was eating muesli the other day, and the baby tooth loosened after I bit down on a nut.  Now the tooth is loose, and I can't leave it alone.  When I was a kid with loose teeth it was the same. I would wiggle the damn things around even though it hurt because it was an enjoyable hurt.  I think that this tooth will find its way out of my mouth within the month, and I do not know if I will miss it.  We've been through a lot together.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Best,
Jim
