re: The bones (tori?) under my tongue freak me out

I never knew either until dental hygiene school and we had to do exams on each other and I was told I had them. Mine are so small that I can't really feel them with my tongue, but I can if I rub the sites with my finger. My best friend has them, though, and they are so large that I can see them when she talks and sometimes, it even sounds like she has marbles in her mouth while she is talking because they take up room where her tongue should go.
