When it was pulled out, you’re relieved, but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it wasn't hurting you doesn’t mean you didn't notice it. It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It’s going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you so much pain. Therefore, move on and let go.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://notkorra.tumblr.com/post/27956615749"&gt;notkorra&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I came across these books myself and remarked on them to Jenn, but didn’t pick them up to open them.  &lt;a href="http://interactivereader.blogspot.ca/2012/06/sexist-much.html"&gt;Jackie did&lt;/a&gt;, and it’s her comments in italics there.  These books were published this year by Scholastic.  They are not, as you have have guessed by the insane sexism, published in the 1950s.  Scholastic: this is not your proudest moment?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe - MAYBE - How To Pick Perfect Sunglasses is actually in the same class as Surviving When Your Parachute Fails.  And maybe the authors truly believed this but also truly believed these two identical classes of disasters (for some reason?) needed to be in separate books.  If you ever find yourself in this situation, please oh please don’t say “THIS ONE IS FOR BOYS AND THIS IS FOR GIRLS”.  Perhaps instead say “THIS ONE HAS A BUNCH OF INTERESTING REAL-LIFE DISASTER SURVIVAL AND THIS ONE HAS A LOT OF PERSONAL HYGIENE AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP STUFF IN IT, ALSO, TIPS ON GETTING YOUR CAT TO SIT DOWN, I DUNNO”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The content of the book is what really makes it egregious, though I do recognize I react to “boys only” and “girls only” in most contexts really negatively (dating profiles and middle school sex ed classes being I suppose some exceptions).  I can’t help subbing in other groups that have had privilege:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How To Survive Anything!  STRAIGHT PEOPLE ONLY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How To Survive Anything!  WHITE PEOPLE ONLY &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wow those book titles seem really horrible, huh?  &lt;em&gt;Weiiiiiiiiiiiird&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
