That's just one of the drawbacks of adulthood. When you're a child and lose a tooth, you get money. As an adult you have to pay to lose that tooth- and it hurts a heck of a lot more than the first time a tooth in that space came out. Plus, even with interest and stock splits, there's no way that quarter from way back yonder could pay the dentist bill, today.

You were made for the Dustin Hoffman role.
