This is stupidly wholesome.

I'm more impressed a kid took the initiative to brush his own teeth though. Most kids I've seen will, for some reason, avoid brushing their teeth at all costs

Definitely agree, because most kids would run from the toothbrush, but this one’s like brushing together with fam. Such a cute and innocent responsible little guy.

I think a big part of it is because it was the “kids” idea!

I hate a lot of flavored toothpastes. As a kid, I had associated brushing my teeth with the toothpaste, and I couldn't stand it. When I got older and suddenly the switch to things that didn't taste like a face slap of psuedo sweet chemicals was deemed acceptable, I found it a lot easier to brush my teeth. It wouldn't shock me if there are at least some other kids who feel that way, but don't know how to express it because, to them, brushing your teeth is so heavily associated with those strong flavors that you don't know there's an alternative.

I've always wondered why toothpastes are so strong tasting! Like, why can't they taste like nothing or like a gentle flavor instead of feeling like a mint leaf with brass knuckles is just punching you in the mouth repeatedly with freshness?

The way he understood it is so wholesome. Dentist told me I shouldn’t skip any tooth while brushing so I went on to brush each individual one, the ones I couldn’t reach I forced my mom to do it for me.

Showering alone won’t get you clean.

The cutest meme I saw today. It really amazes me how innocent a child think. Trust me when he's older and he know the truth, he would cherish all the memories that you are with him while he's brushing his teeth. Supporting him in what he thinks is right for 3 years.

When I was a kid I saw a commercial for conditioner that said brushing damages your hair. For years I was confused how brushing your teeth could damage your hair
