My father wasn't an alien after all

They've found that humans have a potential third set of teeth. This explains why my father had a whole new set come through when he was 15, meaning he had to have the whole second set pulled. I used to wonder whether he was a throw-back, more evolved, or an alien. None of us kids got a new set, so that ended with him. I still wonder what set his buds growing. They were just normal healthy teeth FWIW, just an extra set.

That's interesting as I have a Cornish ancestor who got a new set of teeth when he was elderly. Am sorry your father went through that.

It seems from comments here and on FB that it's mostly old people who get the new teeth, not teenagers. So Dad's still a bit alien. ;)
