Sometimes, life gets busy. While anyone could relate to at least occasionally having phases of less sleep, a poor diet, or other detrimental habits, some are less forgivable. For example, not making sure kids have dinner on the table, failing to give the dog proper exercise, or — arguably worst of all — allowing a toothbrush to have continued use long after its best days are behind it.
Such a situation is happening right now in Torrey, Utah, where one toothbrush is silently begging to be put out of its misery.
"God, please end this hellish agony. Assign me to toilet duty — I'll do anything!" shrieked the $5 Oral-B product.
While most experts agree that toothbrushes should be replaced about every three months, the eldest brush in the McGrady household has been thrown into the action twice daily for more than two years.
"I can't do it anymore — my bristles have gone soft! I'm of no use to you. Have mercy!" cried the longtime bathroom counter fixture. "This isn't good for either of us. I saw you sort your pills this morning — you need to go to Walgreens to pick up a prescription refill anyway! What do I have to do to get you to go to the dental care aisle?"
As cruel as the situation undoubtedly is, this is just one of millions of cases happening in the United States at this very moment. And given that the plastic tools have no mouths of their own — a cruel fact if you really think about it, but also don't think much at all — the pleas are likely to continue for the forseeable future.
However, one may conjecture that the replacement will follow the diagnosis of a severe oral infection.
