So when did you get your tonsils out?

So I'm a bit of a freak of nature for two big reasons. The first, it that I never had wisdom teeth. Nope, never. My mouth is just too small. I even had to get 4 molars taken out once just to make some room for all my other teeth.

Unfortunately, this last week, I started having REALLY bad pain in the back left side of my jaw and just a couple of days ago, I noticed what felt strangely like a tooth growing back there.
A wisdom tooth!!! What???

Yeah, I'm pretty much freaking out.

Oh well, it's just one, at least I don't have to have 4 taken out. That would stink.

So what is reason number two?
Lets just say that my favorite question when I go to the doctor is "So, we don't seem to have any record here, but when did you get your tonsils taken out?"

Here's where the plot thickens... I've never had them taken out! Yup, I don't know if they are just too small to see or if I just wasn't born with them, but doctors always think I've had them taken out...

Just thought I'd share these two medical mysteries with you! I'm off to write my paper for South African History...
