My mom’s friend growing up had a sixth toe removed because shoes. Mom’s family and friends were Pennsylvania Dutch (German, but not Amish). My aunt knocked out an adult tooth, but another grew in. I had to get my canines pulled twice on each side because of another tooth coming in without the old one falling out. My son had an extra left lateral incisor. My daughter has no adult lateral incisors.

I have hefty orthodontist bills in my future. Being mutants isn’t without disadvantages.
