Today, my aunt had to smuggle me some regular toothpaste. Why? My mom isn't letting anyone in our house use anything but "Coral Paste." There are actually lumps of coral in it. FML

Today, I caught my mother trying to switch my contraceptive pill for Tic Tacs. I don't know what's worse - how far she will go to have a grandchild, or that she thought I wouldn't notice that my birth control left me with minty fresh breath. FML

Today, I snuck into my aunt's house while she was working to raid her pantry, like I do most days. Excited for a snack cake, I went to the pantry. Apparently she'd found out, because there was a lock on it. FML

Get me out of this shithole

Today, I caught my mom using my toothbrush and washcloth again, despite her having both her own bathroom and supplies. I asked her to please not use mine, to which she called me an ungrateful bitch. My dad agreed. Yet they wonder why I've been desperately saving money to move out. FML

Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML

Today, my dentist told me I have a cavity and blamed it on the "subpar" toothpaste I've been using - the same toothpaste he recommended six months ago at my last appointment. FML

Today, my mom called me crazy and told me she wanted to put me in a mental hospital. She did this after repeatedly hitting me with a shoe. Why? Because I forgot to put the cap back on the toothpaste. FML

Today, my dad brought the double barrel shotgun to my room, gave me his hat and said, "It's all about survival now. At any cost, Coral." He keeps calling me Coral. FML

Today, my girlfriend was visiting, and while in the bathroom, she clogged the toilet. Since there was no plunger in the room, she unclogged it with the only thing she could find: my mother's hairbrush. FML

I'm no expert here, but coral paste sounds like it would damage your enamel, coral lumps are probably pretty abrasive...

i just googled "coral paste" nothing came up so i googled "coral toothpaste" apparently this toothpaste (actually called Coral White) seems pretty good but it doesn't state that there are chunks or parts of coral in it..... it does state "formulated with Ionic Calcium from above sea coral" and a quote "The Eco-Safe™ logo is your assurance that this coral is harvested from an above sea source. The ocean is never touched and the reef is never harmed." I doubt there are 'chunks' of coral in your toothpaste unless it is an unnamed brand. Just felt like sharing my research, was curious to read about this toothpaste.

Fourth thing to come up on google when you search for "Coral Paste" "Coral Prophy Paste from Young Dental is a nondrying, splatter-free formulation that contains 1.23% fluoride and 1% phosphate. It has specifically formulated abrasives to allow for quick and efficient cleaning, while leaving behind a highluster finish. Coral paste comes in 2 flavors—Pink Bubble Gum or White Spearmint—in either fine or coarse grits, and comes packaged in individual 8.8 oz jars."
