The last time we prefacely talked about "The Top 5 "Biggest, Baddest, And Most Lethal" Sets Of Teeth On Earth!", I saw your "thank you very much, Mother Nature and Father Time, for giving us a chance to live here on Earth!" smile looking at the skinny, 98-pounds-when-dripping-wet, 14-YEAR-OLD HSR, AND THERE, HE IS JUST LEARNING HOW TO SWIM IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK POOL, AND THE LIFEGUARD/TEACHER
DOESN'T TAKE ANYTHING LESS THAN AN ALL-OUT EFFORT, AND HE LIKES TO SEE KIDS WORK HARD AND SWEAT IN THE POOL...
AND THE GUARD CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SWEAT AND JUST WETNESS FROM THE WATER...
AND HE DIRECTS JOHNNY AND RAY TO SWIM ACROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POOL, BUT JOHNNY AND RAY ARE NEW TO THIS AND HESITANT...
BUT THE LIFE GUARD KNOWS THAT FEAR IS A GREAT AND IMMEDIATE MOTIVATOR, SO HE PULLS OUT...
...A FAKE-BUT-REAL-LOOKING SNAKE!
AND TOSSES IT IN THE WATER!...
AND ALL OF THE KIDS SCREAM AND SWIM ACROSS IN ALMOST RECORD-BREAKING FASHION!
"I ALWAYS KNEW THAT YOU ALL HAD IT IN YOU!...SEE WHAT I BROUGHT OUT OF YOU!...LOOK, OVER THERE!...
ALL OF YOUR PARENTS ARE IN THE BLEACHERS CLAPPING FOR YOU IN AMAZEMENT...
"NOW, NEXT...LET'S DO SOME DIVING! ARE YOU ALL EXCITED?" HE ASKS.
THE POOL ALL OF A SUDDEN GETS VERY QUIET...SO QUIET THAT YOU CAN HEAR A
A WATER DROP...DROP!...
"LISTEN UP! YOUNG MEN!...
"I WANT YOU TO DIVE LIKE THIS!...
"AND YOUNG LADIES!...
"DIVE LIKE THIS!"
"OKAY... LET'S MAKE SOME SPLASH!"
AND IT'S STIILL VERY QUIET...
"JOHNNY!...YOU GO FIRST!...MAKE ME PROUD!"
SO JOHNNY CLIMBS THE MANY DIVING BOARD STEPS, THEN RUNS TO THE EDGE...
AND...
"GOOD, JOHNNY...YOU WENT FIRST...YOU'RE THE BRAVEST OF THE GROUP!...WE'LL WORK ON THE FINESSE OF THE ENTRY!"...
"RAY! YOUR TURN!"...
AND RAY SOBS BACK WITH SOME UPSET TEARS, "WHY YOU ALWAYS PICKIN' ON ME?"...
AND THE LIFE GUARD ALMOST GETS AN UNDERSTANDING LOOK, BUT THEN SAYS..."WHERE'S MY SNAKE?"
NOW RAY SCURRIES UP THE LADDER, AND STARTS HIS DIVE, BUT...
ALL "H" BREAKS LOOSE AT THE END!...
SO, MARLA WALKS UP TO THE TEACHER AND TAPS THE TEACHER'S LEG, THEN THE TEACHER LOOKS AROUND, THEN DOWN, AND SHE ASKS...
"CAN I DIVE NEXT CLASS?"...
"SURE, HONEY!"...
THEN, AN ENTHUSIASTIC WILL RUNS UP TO THE TEACHER AND VOLUNTEERS, "HEY TEACH!...I CAN DO A SWAN DIVE RIGHT NOW"...
"WANNA SEE?"...
"YEAH!" SAYS THE TEACHER...
"GOOD BEGINNING FORM, WILL!...
"HSR! I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU!...LET'S MAKE HASTE!"...
SO, HSR, WHO WAS HIDING BEHIND SOME OTHER KIDS, HOPING TO BE FORGOTTEN, NOW HAS MILLIONS OF...
BUTTERFLIES IN HIS STOMACH, MOVING FASTER AND FASTER...
"CAN I DO MY DIVE NEXT WEEK WITH MARLA...PLEASE...SIR?"
AND THE TEACHER LOOKS FOR A SECOND LIKE HE MIGHT AGREE AND SAYS,
"WELL...HSR...
"NOT A CHANCE!...GET ON UP THERE...RIGHT NOW!...
SO, HSR GETS OUT THE WATER ALL MAD...
AND WALKS TO THE DIVING BOARD, THROWING HIS SHOULDERS AND HE'S ABOUT TO CRY...
BUT ONE OF HSR'S ADMIRERS...
SAYS, "I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU WHEN YOU FINISH, OKAY, YOU BRAVE BOY!"
NOW HSR SEEMS TO HAVE "NEW LIFE"...
AND HE CLIMBS UP THE LADDER WITH A DETERMINED AND ALMOST SCARY LOOK...
AND HE SLOWLY WALKS TO THE EGDE OF THE PLANK...
...THINKING, "IS THIS HOW VICTIMS OF PIRATES ON THE HIGH SEAS FEEL?"...
"I'LL SHOW 'UM!"
SO, INSTEAD OF TWO OR THREE BOUNCES, THEN DIVING...
HE TAKES ABOUT FIFTEEN...AND WITH EACH BOUNCE GETS HIGHER...AND HIGHER...
NOW, HE'S BY SOME BIRDS...
AND NEXT TIME...BY SOME...
CLOUDS!...OMG!
AND HSR FINALLY DIVES!...
AND SOME SPECTATORS LOOK ON IN AMAZEMENT!...
AND HE DOES SOME FLIPS, TWISTS, AND TURNS, TO THE BEST OF HIS FIRST-TIME ABILITIES...AND...
HSR HAS EVERYBODY WONDERING WHAT KIND OF POSSIBLY HORRIFYING ENTRY
INTO THE WATER HE WILL MAKE...
BUT NO MATTER...HE'S THINKING ABOUT HIS NEW FRIEND!
See the Love Toothbrush®
"Be fearless...but also wise about things!"
Isn't Baby Victoria just adorable...
With her big, prophesying, and pretty eyes...
And her cute little nose...and her very squeezable and abundantly-soft arms and legs!
But...
Believe it or not, her beautiful and burgeoning teeth...
are under a constant threat from "Lurking-in-the-Dark-Alley Critters"...
Yes, inside the mouth is dark...don't believe me...
Just close your lips, then peek inside yo' mouth!
So keep her teeth, and yours, pollution-free--you know, get the plaque off!
Don't let these pretty pictures of oral biofilm microorganisms fool you!
They "ain't warm and cuddly"...
That yucky stuff is always growing
on that baby's, and our, teeth...
And if that "Smack" grows to sufficient quantities, that "Mouthlava" can erupt and take over, and wreak major havoc on the enamel
And kick some tooth a_ _ ,
...in a mean and major way!
I wonder if plaque bacterial cells have, just under their surface membranes,
...biological needles that are just sharply and intentionally waiting to poke at us, and devastatingly injure our cells?
The biofilm cells in our mouths and in other areas, communicate with each other through methods like Quorum Sensing,
and they can "Share" and "Like" and "Email" to each other, their made-for-survival-and-adaptation DNA and RNA fragments!
And overcome our body's natural defenses!
Yes!
They molecularly build their devious and dastardly Weapons Of Mouth Destruction using just simple, off-the-rack amino acids...that just happen to be floating around...
and mix and combine them...
...all in an effort to ultimately poop out
teeth-destroying bunk and junk...
...that builds up and collects...
So Mom, and Dad, and Caretaker...please clean Baby Victoria's teeth frequently...
on a daily basis, until they all grow in...
And that way, the Big, Bad-Nasty mouth-forces-equivalent, to this love-to-brawl, "Dark Alley Group of Ne'er-Do-Wells"
...can't get their dirty paws, jaws, claws, switch blades, and acidic fingers on our, young, beautiful, and full-of-promise toddler's blossoming dentition!
Hip hip hooray!
May you have many...do you think that everyone needs a little bit of help, even billionaires?...can an ever-sophisticating mind heal the body?...wanna grow?--look in the mirror--and ask some questions!...smiles!
