The worst part about growing up, the absolute worst part is that you no longer lose any teeth.
Come on! That was fun, it was fun to have a wiggly tooth. I enjoyed it.
And then you got cash for it, what kind of a messed up awesome system is that? You get paid for pieces of your body falling off. How cool was that? It was very cool.
But now, no loose teeth. No grossing everyone out by bending your tooth over and showing your empty gum. If I had known at the time I lost my last tooth, that it was my last tooth I would loose, I would have savored the experienced. I would have grossed out as many people as I could in that precious time remaining. But no, I made no big deal of it. I didn't know it was the last one. Man I tell ya, there are few things I regret about my childhood, and not appreciating my loose teeth to their maximum potential is one of them. But then again, what child fully capitalizes on that? Not me, apparently.
Also, if adults could still lose teeth I think the world would be a better place. We wouldn't be in a recession if a magical fairy placed cash under our pillows every time we loose a tooth. There would be all around cuter looking faces. Come on, who doesn't love a toothy grin? Maybe not on a 30 year old, but we don't know for sure. Maybe it's sexy. The point is that we don't know and won't know what life would be like if we continued losing teeth and regrowing new ones past childhood, we could have a better America, but no. Some "higher power" up there decided we should suffer and let all the young naive children have all the fun and money. Thanks for nothing, Mother Nature.
