My Love, Enlighten me

Gloria Taylor squeezed the toothpaste out to brush her teeth while paying attention to Tina Clarke.

Tina Clarke brushed her teeth until the toothpaste bubbled up and then, she spitted it out.

Gloria Taylor softened watching the little girl standing on the stool brushing her teeth.

“Mom, you have to spit it out like this.”

Tina Clarke’s voice brought her back to her senses.

When she looked down, Tina Clarke put in a mouthful of water to rinse her mouth and spitted it out.

Tina Clarke asked her curiously with a pair of big eyes, “Can you spit it out like this?”

“I can.” Gloria Taylor nodded.

Gloria Taylor had to cooperate and gargle the way Tina Clarke did.

Tina Clarke patted her arm, “Great!”
