Four boys got appliances in their mouths.
They need to brush and floss more diligently.
Two boys had never tried the sonic toothbrush.
They were terrified.
I will not describe the contortions required to brush their teeth.
There were many.
But in the end, I think they were a little chagrined
By the extent of their protesting
Over the non-traumatic reality
Of the brushing itself.
Change is hard.
When it happens, though,
I will hope for the laughter from a tickling toothbrush,
And abashment for the vehemence of unnecessary protest.
