Cute.

My now 20 year old niece had her tonsils taken out 2 years ago, right after her high school graduation -- the poor kid was in misery for a week after the surgery. I wonder how often tonsillectomies are still performed on kids today? When I was a kid in the 1960's it was pretty routine surgery for kids under the age of 12 or 13.
