사랑니 (Love Teeth)

Two posts in one day, impressive I know. This was just too sweet to forget: I just had class with one of my students, he's a senior in university and he's getting ready to go abroad to the US for a year. He needs to get his wisdom teeth removed before he leaves, so we were talking about the dentist and the different names for different proceedures. I told him he needed his wisdom teeth removed.
Student: We called them 사랑니 SaRangNa.
Me: SaRang means love right?
Student: Yes, they are called Love Teeth.
Me: Why are they called Love Teeth?
Student: Because you are old enough to be in love when you them.
I thought that was pretty cute and wanted to share it.
