We’ve even had one child wet the toothbrush in an attempt to make us believe they had brushed their teeth, because we check that first when we’re suspicious. They catch on quick…
We went to the dentist last week and the hygienist said – “your teeth look great, keep doing what your doing.” This to young man who brushes his teeth once a day, doesn’t floss and usually is told he needs to improve things. When he relayed the story (along with his internalized amusement at the time), all we could figure is that the hygienist must have seen some pretty icky mouths that day and in comparison, his WAS great. 🙂
That said, nice to know this isn’t gender-based and females don’t necessarily excel in dental care either. 🙂
This is hilarious because it sounds identical to many tooth brushing incidents in our own home.
And ours.. Though our children don’t usually pull out a knife during the process…
That’s my girl…
