I think the way we humans grow teeth is pretty disgusting. First of all, whoever thought it was a good idea to slice open tender baby gums with sharp pointy bone is really very sick. Then those hard-earned chompers fall out. With blood. And leave gory holes.
It’s a horror show.
Yet the kids make it look awkwardly cute. They’re so excited and proud and full of anticipation as they tuck their tiny pointy bloody prizes under their pillow. What could be sweeter?
And now I know that we don’t call them baby teeth because of when they appear, but because each time one falls out, the child looks less and less like the baby they used to be.
So true!
What a beautiful child.
