My were removed when I was 6 years old. I never got to take them home in a jar, because they were that rotten. I was constantly sick when I was little and not so much after my tonsils were removed.
I didn’t get to see mine either, and I barely remember it. My mum tells me I snored like a demon until they were removed.
My daughter wanted to see hers but the ENT said they were “nasty.” LOL!
