Keeping score

Today, I found out why my teenage daughter won't brush her teeth properly. Apparently, my son convinced her that toothpaste has tons of calories. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

But you don't even swallow toothpaste, so why would it be a problem even if it did have calories?

Wow. That's excessive. If you can't change her mind, tell her to use baking soda. Although, you really should talk to her because being that obsessive seems unhealthy.

Ask her if she'd rather have no teeth, or gain a little weight.

Or, you know, check the container itself.

People with bad hygiene are the worst! :(

I hope she doesn't swallow toothpaste in the first place. I hear it's bad for you. And being pudgy versus rotting teeth... Take your choice.

I think it's clear that having teeth is more important than calories. You can lose those. But wow... You don't even swallow toothpaste

In all fairness, you can lose teeth as well.

Pretty soon its going to reach the point where shes not brushing at all.

wow.

Even if that were true or made sense, your daughter still has her priorities screwed. I'm pretty sure I'd rather be a little on the 'curvy' side and have nice teeth and breath than be skinny, smell like an alley and have gum disease.
