"Our teeth owe so much to the kindness of others"


Spencer and I made the amazing discovery that throughout our little over two years of marriage, we have never had to buy toothpaste.  You may be thinking, "Oh, they've probably just been living off the little toothpaste samples from the dentist." WRONG!  For some reason, people have just repeatedly donated full-sized containers of toothpaste to the cause of the Bardsley family teeth.  How kind it is for others to be so concerned about our dental hygiene.  :0)  
I don't even remember exactly how all of this started.  I mean, toothpaste isn't like baby clothes.  You don't grow out of your toothpaste and decide to kindly pass it on to someone else. :0)  I think it must mostly come from having friends who've worked in the dental field and a mother-in-law who is very random in her generosity.  :0)  At any rate, we can only hope that this lovely little streak will continue.  I feel half-afraid that should this generosity cease, Spencer and I would find ourselves horribly out of vogue and out of practice when confronted with the toothpaste buying world.  I suppose at that point we'd just have to give up toothbrushing all together.  For our sake and yours, may the toothpaste charity go on forever!

Is it as amazing if I get free toothpaste because my dad's a dentist? ....probably not :)

So funny, Anna! Hopefully people won't start donating soap and deodorant, too; those might feel like message gifts. :-)
