Toothbrush chronicles

It doesn't fit! (twss)

So as it turns out, deciding which toothbrush to buy is possibly the toughest decision I’ve made in a really long time. As I stood in the toothbrush aisle in Duane Reade, my brain was assaulted by ten million different kinds of brushes. Straight, angular, circular, jagged, firm, medium, soft- the variety was astounding. My tiny brain was ill at ease trying to process all the information and come to a decision. And then I see the fancy, new-age battery powered toothbrushes. Those too had countless to choose from. Some of them even let me try the vibrate feature. I’m not sure what purpose that served though. So I decide to be adventurous and try something new. Ultimately I was sold on the Oral-B CrossAction Battery Powered toothbrush. I hurry home, excited like a little 5 year old boy all set to play with a new toy. And even though it’s just 6.30 in the evening, I decide that today is a good day to start my habit of brushing twice a day. The euphoria around the event largely fizzled as I tested the device. Clearly, it is an acquired skill. My face splattered with remnants of my striped, minty pepsodent toothpaste was evidence enough that I need a lot more practice. And just as quickly as I had ripped the packet apart, I cleaned up and placed my oversized robot brush in its rightful place in my now inadequate jungle/monkey themed bathroom toothbrush and razor holder thingy.
