I don't know how these are named in english, but humans have those big back teeth that only grow once you reach 18 years old... And in french these teeth are called "les dents de sagesse" (wisdom teeth) since they grow only once you approach adulthood. Well beleive it or not, I was born without these teeth, and they will never grow on me because they're just not there. X-Rays show nothing, I have no wisdom teeth at all. I used to say I had the right not to be wise and do stupid things for I don't have any. But then I met this little owl.
And the owl is a symbol of wisdom in many mythologies.
And she does look a lot like a big tooth.
And so this little owl became Dent de Sagesse, as she is my inspiration for wisdom since I have no teeth to do this job.
