Opium of the Young

Silly Strawberry. That's all they brush with, and I don't blame them. Remember what minty toothpaste felt like when you were a kid? Like your tongue was on fire. Silly Strawberry was the balm of bedtime. My children reached for it willingly, and there was harmony in house for all 120 recommended brushing seconds. We felt so proud when we learned it was our dentist's #1 brand, because it's mild grittiness rubs off plaque, unlike the wimpy gels. All of a sudden nobody in my town carries it anymore. Stop & Shop, Shaws, Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Market Basket all discontinued it. I'm left to choose between pink Barbie princess gel or Sponge Bob glitter toothpaste. Tom's of Maine, why have you left us?

These Folks Deserve a Night Out

about the blog author:

Michelle Nicholasen
I am a mother of five children, now aged 10, 11, 11, 11, and 14. This blog is inspired by the book I wrote with Barbara O'Neal, the Educational Director of Arlington Children's Center. But the blog's main purpose is to share creative ideas for managing the wacky, frustrating, often irrational behaviors of little kids. The blog is growing with my children, so the issues I am writing about today reflect the development of tweens and teens.
