Anna the shark!

Well...

Not really. But did you know that there are things called "shark" teeth? And I'm not talking about the teeth that shark have. That would be too obvious and too easy to explain. What I'm talking about is the teeth that children sometimes get if they do not loose their baby teeth. These teeth are called "shark" teeth. This means that the grown-up teeth come in BEHIND the baby teeth BEFORE the others fall out. About 10% of all children can have these teeth - and by golly - Anna was one of the lucky 10%! Yes indeed - Anna is special! Well -of course we already knew that! So now we have to visit the dentist. Hopefully within the next two weeks those baby teeth will fall out and we won't have to worry with it. Otherwise - it's EXTRACTION TIME! Anna will just LOVE that! So we wait. And for those of you who have never had the privilege of knowing someone with shark teeth - let me enlighten you - here's a photo of Anna and her teeth! It is a striking photo. It such a nice picture of her. I just love looking in her mouth (and up her nose)!! Now you are educated. Don't you just feel so much smarter?

Gross isn't it?
