I was running a little behind the other morning and went in my bathroom to brush my teeth. I knew my hubby and I were low on toothpaste but he must have taken the last little bit in his bag to the gym b/c there was no toothpaste anywhere in my bathroom. I decided to borrow some from my kids and ran upstairs. The first bathroom is my boys bathroom....ages 6 and 9. Honestly, I only go in it on cleaning day. I do not USE the bathroom in there - EVER for fear of sticking to the seat or what might get ON me. I make them bring their laundry down and do whatever else in there that a Mom would need to do. Boys can be gross and I personally, don't want any part of that bathroom. I love my boys, but there is no love lost in their bathroom.
My daughter's bathroom is not too much further away but like I said, I was running late that morning and I needed to brush my teeth. I just took a deep breath and went in. They have a "Touch 'N Brush" which is a fabulous little tool but there is no way I was sticking my toothbrush in there (who knows what they had done to it!). So I looked in the drawer where there were several tubes of toothpaste (all missing the lid so it is nice and crusty on the end.) Then there was a standup "tube" - you know what I mean? It was still gross looking but had the least amount of "glob" on it so I put a little on my toothbrush and away I went - trying not to think about it and wondering "how gross can it really be?"
That night at dinner, a conversation about toothpaste started. Before I could mention my toothpaste adventure from that morning, my 6 yr old said, "You know what happens with my toothpaste?" I felt fear jump in my throat. I said, "which one?" He replied, "The standup tube." Gulp......."What?" He said, "I don't know why it is so gloppy on the top but I have to suck on it to get any out and if I get too much, I just try to poke it back in there with my lips."
Gag. Gagggg. Gaggggggg. My dinner was o.v.e.r.
Love being a Mom,

Now THAT was funny!!!! (But they always are..)
ReplyDeleteIf I were to use the boys toothpaste...it would be 'bubblegum' flavored. I don't get the point of brushing with 'bubblegum'. LOL
Have a great Thanksgiving, K!!!
I'm very thankful for our friendship.

P.S....the Animation....enlighten me please. ;)
The toothpaste… it practically ended your dinner, haha! But nevertheless, it's all in a mom's day, right? You just gotta love them boys no matter how, how… yeah you know. And at least, you know that they don't neglect brushing their teeth!
