Do you want to hear a riddle? No? I’ll tell you anyway. Here’s a hint: Don’t overthink it. You have seven baby teeth on your ninth birthday. You have five baby teeth on your tenth birthday. You have three baby teeth on your eleventh birthday. How many baby teeth do you have when you turn twelve? None. Only babies have baby teeth. Or so I’ve been told.

The Judgment of Teeth
Do you want to hear a riddle? No? I’ll tell you anyway. Here’s a hint: Don’t overthink it. You have seven baby teeth on your ninth birthday. You have five baby teeth on your tenth birthday. You have three baby teeth on your eleventh birthday. How many baby teeth do you have when you turn twelve? None. Only babies have baby teeth. Or so I’ve been told.
Teeth can be awfully clueless sometimes.
