My daughter utters so many wise words at the age of 7-8 , it almost feels like she is some 18+ and in all - sage avatar is preaching me. From today I am trying to be active on blog and would try capturing some of the random wisdom nuggets and wise-cracks, my daughter has up her sleeve :-)

My wisdom tooth is a unique pain giving companion from more than a decade 🤕. A nerve exactly is passing in between the tooth and to operate it's tough, if it's bone we can still surgically extract...if nerve little tough - at times u may lose sensation of the jaw, but mostly u won't - I was told .. I thought, feeling the pain is better than feeling nothing, so nearly from 12 years I suffer on and off immense pain episodes, sometimes I get fever and so on ....
Today some food got stuck in that tooth. I was cleaning and then pressing my jaw in pain, holding it...and so on, seeing my trials ,
my daughter : "what's wrong!"
I then explain about the wisdom tooth...
After five different Q and A on what it is, why it's extracted and so on ( and me googling most of it to explain to her😜)....then she goes on like this.
"Mamma I guess I know the reason why you are in so much pain!"
Me: why
Z: maybe it's not just nerve , maybe tone down your wisdom. You act too wise at times 🤔
Me: means?
Z: Become a bit dumb, then the tooth won't be used much ...Being dumb numbs the pain ma!🤣
Me again perplexed as am not sure if she is just speaking sillily or even if in the form of taunt at me, the sage avatar of hers made her utter the life's most profound and ugliest fact 💯🙂💥
Sorry about your wisdom tooth. I have had severe mouth pain that was finally operated on and left me partially numb. However, I'd take the annoyance of the numbness over the pain any day.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's statement is funny, but I will ponder it for a while to look for its "hidden" meaning. :)
This reminds me of the time when my son was about your daughter's age and we were playing chess. I was just learning the game as was he. After a little while, he said, "Mama, do you care if I give you a little advice?" I said sure. He followed with, "It helps if you think before your moves."
Haha that's smart of him
