"Hey son, do you miss your wisdom teeth?"
"No, why would I?"
"I don't know, you just seemed pretty attached to them."
Felt like a dad when she asked for a milkshake and I walked in with a gallon of milk and said "how shaken do you want it?"
"A know it all patient is trying to tell the surgeon how to do everything. The surgeon throws up his hands and says 'Suture yourself!'"
(Suit yourself)
Cue eye rolling from me and my mom...
I told my family via our family Whatsapp chat group that I had just found out that one of my wisdom teeth had decided to grow horizontally into the root of the next tooth requiring both teeth to be extracted. My Dad replies with this.... https://imgur.com/a/XbGg5KB
The other day I witnessed the first ever dad joke to come out of my dad's mouth. He is 66.
Conversing about dental work:
Dad: "They keep telling me to get my wisdom teeth removed. I am 66."
Me: "Yeah, seems a little late for that."
Dad: "I never got wisdom teeth on this side, but I have them over here, which is probably why I am half stupid..."
I laughed immediately. It took the rest of the family a little longer to notice the dad joke.
Me- "Mom told me that I'm getting my wisdom teeth out at the end of July"
Dad- "Does that mean you won't be as smart?"

So my dad takes me to the dentist to have my wisdom teeth out. When I wake up from being knocked out, the nurse guides me down the hallway. To the waiting room where my dad is waiting. I'm really out of it so the nurse is having a hard time since I'm a big guy. The nurses says to my dad, "With your son being so big, what happens if he falls over?". My dad looks at her and says "I don't know about you, but I'm getting the hell out of the way!"
Me: "Am I going to get my wisdom teeth taken out any time soon?" Dad: "Probably not because you don't have any"
Got my top two wisdom teeth taken out. I came home and my dad asked me when I was getting the bottom two taken out. I told him I didn't have to because I don't have my bottom two. He just goes "Well that's strange, I guess you are not really that smart."
Thanks Dad.
My sister is getting her wisdom teeth out today, and so last night I was trying to encourage her to not worry. As anyone else who has gotten wisdom teeth out likely knows, it's tough to eat solid food for a few days, so to make her feel better:
Me: Look on the bright side! You get to lose a few pounds!
Her: You're right! These teeth weigh 2 or 3 pounds each!
Thanks Jackie.
Dad: if they take out your wisdom teeth, how will you graduate college?
