Can’t get enough of your pearly whites

by

Guess what my Dad gave my Mom for Mother’s Day? An electric toothbrush. You read that right. An electric toothbrush.

We were all in the family car last Sunday when he asked my younger sister to take out his present. It was in a beautiful paper bag. My Mom looked so excited! She reached into the paper bag, and a lopsided smile flashed across her face. An electric toothbrush. My sisters and I broke into giggles in the backseat.

My Mom was obviously disturbed by this, well, appliance. How totally unromantic right? Wrong. While my Mom flipped the toothbrush over and over (trying to get to love it I guess), my Dad continued driving and started to tell her why this was such a great toothbrush.

“There’s a timer so you brush your upper set of teeth for 1 minute… When the vibrating stops, you turn it on again because it’s time to brush your lower set of teeth. So you know when to start and stop brushing…”

My Mom softened up a bit after hearing Dad enthusiastically tell her about the features of this electric toothbrush. I think he really thought it was romantic. It’s the thought that counts. :) And at least he’s concerned about my Mom’s oral health!
