Today, I taught my younger cousins a more effective way to brush their teeth. Tonight when I was getting them ready for bed, I asked them why they weren't brushing their teeth like I taught them to. The littlest one replied, "Daddy said if we do then we'll have ugly teeth like yours." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as always, my mom loudly asked me if I'd brushed my teeth, then replied to my yes with, “I don’t believe you.” All because I forgot to brush my teeth once when I was 5. I’m 17 now. FML
Today, I have to use the same techniques to trick my 24-year-old husband into brushing his teeth, as I do my 2-year-old. FML
Today, I had to show my husband a video on how to brush your teeth. FML
Today, my 45 year-old sister blamed my parents yet again for losing one tooth after the other because they did not tell her to brush her teeth before going to bed. It's general knowledge, honey. And somehow, I still have all my teeth. FML
Today, I caught my young daughter eating candy after brushing her teeth. Angry, I asked her if she wanted all her teeth to fall out. She smiled and said, “Yes!” FML
Today, I realized I have to ask my husband if he’s brushed his teeth for the day the same way I have to ask our 5, 7 and 8 year-old children. FML
Today, at the store, I heard a kid complaining about getting braces. While I was saying "Thank you" and "Bye" to the cashier, his grandma must've seen my slightly crooked teeth. She pointed and said, "Without them, your teeth will look bad like that man's!" Everyone around looked at me. FML
Today, I realised my teeth are so stained that they look cleaner when I've not brushed them. FML
Today, I heard a little girl saying how much she didnt want braces to her mom because they hurt and make people look ugly. I looked at her and said, "Aww, there not that bad. See, I have them!" I then smiled to show her. She turned to her mom and said, "See!" then started to cry. FML
Today, while I was brushing my teeth, my 5 year old-son walked into the bathroom. He gave me a mean look and said, "That's Sammy's toothbrush, not yours." I've been brushing my teeth with the dog's toothbrush for two months now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wouldn't want someone with dodgy teeth teaching my kids how to brush, either.

Agree.

Regardless of how your teeth are, why are you trying to teach someone else's kids (or anyone) how to brush their teeth. More effective or not, that's just weird. You're not a dentist, and they're not your kids. If your teeth are shabby, that just adds to it.

I agree. Let him teach his own kids without you trying to "help", OP.

Harsh comments. It's not always hard to teach kids a more effective way to brush their teeth; for all you know they could have been just brushing the front ones. My baby sister did that until I showed her the way I was taught in school. Maybe the dad cared more about looking like he was the one who was right, than he cared about the state of his childrens teeth. If FML has taught me anything, it's that people care about looking like they are good more than actually doing good things.

I'm curious in what your "effective way is"

This would be a lot funnier if you were a dentist.
