Thanks, everyone. The last I heard, my nieces don't feel sick so far. They were tested because of the known exposure, so I hope it's not too hard on them.

Today is my youngest son's 21st birthday. For those of you keeping track at home, that's the escape artist, whose greatest hits include, "It was white and square, and looked like a tooth."

After all this time in doors I forgot that reading stuff on Twitter makes everything feels worse.

I think that a lot (with regard to the news in general).

Oh, wow, I can't believe "looked like a tooth" is 21 today! Holy cow. Happy Birthday, not little anymore dude.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy birthday wishes! Wow, 21. All adult and stuff.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy 21st birthday to Cindy's Son!

I talked to Emmett yesterday and he had just gotten his first vax. His GF has had both already, and so has his roommate and his GF. So his whole household will be jabbed, and we can see him more often.

I've asked him to come down for Matilda's Wisdom Teeth surgery, as she's getting very anxious about it.

Thanks, everybody. The birthday boy is still sleeping, as is fitting at 21.

David, when does Matilda have her teeth out? Is she having all four at once?

I'm happy to hear Emmet's been jabbed. Everyone in our house has had two shots. My oldest son gets his second this coming Thursday. My mom has been fully vaccinated since late February, so we're doing Mother's Day together, even though my oldest will be only be 11 days post-shot-2.

June 11th, all four. I'm anxious about it too.

It does feel scary, but it will be okay. Mine were impacted, so they put me under (day surgery at the hospital), but my kids had theirs out at the dentist's office. Tylenol took care of the worst of it. They were a little uncomfortable for a few days.

I think all four at once are the way to go. You have the same restrictions as to what you can eat, how you have to gently rinse, not use a straw, etc. If you have all four out at once, you only have to recover once.

Emmett had all four of his out, and he bounced back the next day and was fine.

But he's a beast of ridiculous vigor.

The worst part for me was they gave me Tylenol III -- the prescription with codeine. I spent a day or two crying and nauseated, and finally told my mom I wasn't taking them anymore.
