Wisdom

So the other day I had four wisdom teeth out, which wasn’t the most exciting experience but it had to be done, that got me wondering why are wisdom teeth called wisdom teeth. I honestly don’t think they provide much wisdom, so with my thought provoking idea I had to search the internet and it’s quite interesting what I found.

Wisdom teeth

are given their unique title because of the period in which they grow inside a person's mouth

. As a matter of fact, wisdom teeth don't appear in the mouth until a person turns 18 or 20 – the age which marks the arrival of formal adulthood and along with that, gives rise to an additional extent of wisdom and sagacity.

I must admit being utterly bored has will taught me something and I honestly am glad they are out even though I can still only eat mush!
