Day 130/365: Toothbrush
Day 130.
Today, Randy noticed that there are many things made for our teeth that have been named improperly. For example, have you ever tried to only brush one tooth with your toothbrush and toothpaste? How do you use a toothpick to pick a tooth?
All of these things were made to service more than one tooth at a time - you can use your toothbrush and toothpaste to clean all of the teeth in your mouth, and you can use your toothpick to pick in between two teeth. This naming convention is almost as silly as calling your eating sticks "chopsticks".
Even the tooth fairy isn't properly named. Has anyone met the tooth fairy? Does she (or he) live in the closet, or under the bed, with the monsters? How do we even know that the tooth fairy is a fairy, and not a small animal capable of crawling under children's pillows to get their teeth (like Randy)?
And last question for today: Do you think the wisdom tooth (or teeth) would be able to answer our questions?
