Toothpaste.
A small amount, about the size of a pea, goes on the toothbrush and the toothbrush then goes into the mouth. Much like the handle of said toothbrush, not a difficult concept to grasp.
So why is there toothpaste on the ceiling?
At first I blamed the blue sparkly kind, for it is quite whimsical and, I believe, encourages bad toothpaste behavior.
I placed my false hopes in the plain white kind with baking soda in it because it tastes bad and I thought it would promote the use of amounts no bigger than a pea.
I found a blob of white toothpaste, one morning, had made it onto the strap of my purse and from there transferred to my shirt, where it eventually came to rest in my hair... at work.
Kids today... I blame myself.
