Comfortably oblivious?

Me: Your cousin X has posted a new photo of his baby on facebook. Her first tooth came out.

J: Already? She is not even 1 year old yet!

Me: I think the first tooth comes out when babies are somewhere around 6 months old.

J: Really? My first tooth came out when I was in school!

Me (giving a really crazy look): WHAT?? What are you talking about??

J: I remember clearly my first milk tooth fell off when I was in 2nd grade.

Me: Huh! We are not talking about when they first fall off. Her first tooth just came out! She's not toothless anymore.

J (with a really surprised look): You mean babies aren't born with teeth?

Me (after being speechless for sometime): No. Haven't you ever seen any babies in your life????

J: (without any trace of shame) Of course I have. I just never paid attention to their teeth.

Me: Huh!

J: (with an expression that scientists have when they solve a problem) Aaaha! now it all makes sense why babies eat only liquid food when they are really young.


Whom did I marry???

Take care
