Germs

Jenny apparently had someone speak at school today about dental health. She brought home a packet with a new toothbrush and a chart to track every time she brushes her teeth and some other things like little tablets that turn her teeth pink so that she can brush the pink off and make sure she gets her teeth all clean. Anyway, this prompted her to say, "Do you know how many calories are in goldfish? Like 170 calories. That's a lot of germs. That's why I have to brush my teeth three times a day."

I'm not sure about the link between calories, germs and tooth-brushing, but apparently Jenny is.

At first I thought she meant real live goldfish, and I was like, "Excuse me?" But now I realize she means Goldfish the snack. Still, the fact that she's talking about calories, even if she doesn't really understand what they are, is making me be like, "Excuse me?" She has a lot of explaining to do.
