Spork- Funny you should mention that, I’ve just come back (literally) from having a stubborn ‘baby tooth’ excised. (I’m thirty three)

Well, oh snap, here’s a link with the original TV news broadcast with the doctor saying it’s real.

And this is circling the Internets very quickly. The news channel already responded that it’s not a hoax.

That has to be a fake report! It took twelve years for us to hear about this? No way!

My birthday falls on April 2nd. The day of the eternal child. Long before I ever knew that, I was labelled the peter pan of my family. The girl who refused to grow up. I swear there were years I didn’t grow at all from sheer will alone. I didn’t enter puberty until high school. Didn’t lose my last baby tooth until college. There’s a part in J.M Barrie’s play, that really shows the price of the eternal child’s gift:

PETER. You mustn’t touch me.

WENDY. Why?

PETER. No one must ever touch me.

WENDY. Why?

PETER. I don’t know.

(He is never touched by any one in the play.)

By remaining a child forever, Peter must remain separate and intangible from even the others in Neverland. There’s always a limit to his inteaction, and a complete lack of intimacy.

Later, he states “To die will be an awfully big adventure” but the stage direction of (with a drum beating in his breast as if he were a real boy at last) seems to suggest that he’s longing for the adventure of actually living…

I know it sounds crass, but I would love to see a photo.
