Crooked

By Anonymous - 08/11/2009 04:04 - United States

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

How exactly do you brush your teeth "more effectively" than the regular way?

Being lazy is NOT being 'more efficient'!

Did you really just ask that??? Yes, littlest is a word. Didn't you notice that as you typed it, the spell-checker didn't underline it for you?

The fact that the spell-checker doesn't underline it may just mean that the programmer(s) put in a word that isn't really "real." I've seen it happen before. Saying "littlest," on the other hand, should be acceptable grammar, although "youngest" would've probably been better. One syllable words generally work better with -er and -est endings. Words with many syllables, however, should really use "more" and "most" instead of -er and -est endings.

...Did you try to show them how to brush their teeth with their finger or what? It must be a really crappy method, anyways.

More effective? For what? Cavities? Laziness? Yellow teeth? Expensive dental bills when you need dentures? Sounds like a great thing to teach them *note sarcasm*

how do you know the OP was actually teaching them a good way of cleaning their teeth? Their parents would have already taught them, the OP just said they were teaching the kids a "more effective" way... obviously not very effective if it isn't working well on their own teeth, is it?

wait, what's this "more effective way" you speak of? 'Cause if their dad told them that you have ugly teeth, chances are, this "method" isn't very "effective".
