We have been talking a lot about teeth lately in our family with Mason having to get two teeth pulled, Lance breaking his front middle tooth, and Taylor getting his braces off. This is a conversation that I had with Taylor today.
Taylor: "Mom, when do I get my spirit teeth?"
Mom: "What are spirit teeth?"
Taylor: "You know, the ones that grow in the middle of your mouth."
Mom: (Me laughing!) "You mean wisdom teeth?" "They grow in the middle of your mouth?"
Taylor: "Oh, ya wisdom teeth. You said once that they grow in the middle of your mouth."
Mom: (at this time I am really laughing hard trying to answer him) "Tay, I said that once when I was little I had a tooth that was growing in the middle of my mouth and they pulled it forward..."
I guess he has a memory like I do. I still think to this day that my grandpa got the Silver Purple Heart (which apparently was really a silver beaver of some sort) and that my dad ran marathons all the time (he ran all the time just not marathons). My mom laughs at my childhood memories and what I came up with. Hey, apparently I had a happy childhood full of false but happy memories that I created.
We no longer have wisdom teeth in the Cannon household, we now have Spirit Teeth!!
