A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

My kids can't do a good job even with an electric toothbrush. My God! When do they learn to do it right?
We came up with a (quite stupid, but fun) "brushing teeth" song. It's to the tune of baby shark. It works out well and it takes almost exactly 2 minutes to sing. It also gets good coverage. My 4 year old daughter now demands it every time... ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฌ
Verses are:
Brush your teeth do do do do do...
Brush the top do do do do do...
Brush the bottom do do do do do...
Brush the left do do do do do...
Brush the right do do do do do...
Brush the back do do do do do...
Brush the front do do do do do...
Brush... Everywhere! do do do do do...
Now you're done! do do do do do...
Lol nice. Awesome you were able to figure something like that out and it worked well. Good job!
I didn't learn well into my 20s when my teeth started falling apart.. it was less about learning and more about lazy I think.
Also, I didn't know until like a year ago that you're supposed to floss BEFORE brushing. That was embarrassing.
I brush, floss, and brush again because I forgot to floss first. But I don't always floss. I don't think it's the end of the world unless you're having actual issues and need to adjust a bit to catch that variable.
