Toothpaste Towels

We go through enough toothpaste in this house that I’m starting to think it might actually be cheaper to allow my children’s teeth to rot out of their heads. This is Scarlett after her nightly brush session. And this picture was AFTER she rubbed most of it off onto one of my towels. A clean hand towel at that. Which is a big deal because I rarely change out my hand towels. (I have four kids. That’s pretty much my excuse for everything.) If you’re ever a visitor at my house you’d probably be better off allowing your hands to air dry. However, today was my bi-monthly hand towel changing day. And she decided it would be a good night for her to rub toothpaste all over her upper torso and then proceed to show me her cleaning abilities by wiping it up with my clean towel. The girl lacks finesse. Isn’t there some sort of magic pill that I can have my children chew every night that cleans their teeth?! It’s 2019 people! Somebody get on that! Or, at the very least, start making toothpaste clear. So, when my two-year-old rubs it all over my clean hand towel I can just hang the thing back up and let it go another two weeks. I’ll just pretend like I didn’t notice. (This story is probably as much about my issues with hand towels as it is about my issues with toothpaste.) You’d probably be better off using hand sanitizer at my house. Consider yourself warned.
