The Smurfs Made the Toothpaste

I SMURF blue toothpaste. I find it everywhere. Everywhere but in my kid's mouths. I find it on doorknobs, on chairs, bedspreads, cabinets- you name it. I even found it one time on my jog bra that I was wearing??? We've tried other brands that have other colors, but the truth is that my kids like the taste of the nasty blue toothpaste. I'm convinced one of the boys will become a dentist one day. Chase has always loved brushing his teeth, and he has taught Davis the art of spitting globs of blue in the sink and then "forgetting" to wash it down. (OH, and once it's dried, it's like peeling glue off off the sink with extra food particles for your enjoyment.) Davis has a fetish now that he HAS to brush his teeth immediately after something sweet. One would think that's a great habit, but it's kind of annoying when you are at a kid's birthday and he wants to leave to go home to brush his teeth because he just ate cake. Again???? AND then there's Vance. Thank goodness he's not old enough for the blue toothpaste, but I've found it in his mouth before. He uses the toddler toothpaste. However, he loves to stand on the stool in the bathroom and pretend "spitting" in the sink. I guess I should feel thankful we have good dental habits, but again, why blue? Some crazed man who has never had to clean a sink with dried blue toothpaste made the stuff. I am convinced he was either single or mad at his wife, and he really loved watching her scrub the bathroom to get the "blue" off the door. Either way, it gets the job done, but it makes mine a little more tough. :)
