Dentifrice Options

This evening I noticed Nikolai's breath had that "not so fresh" smell. I didn't mention it to him, in an effort to spare his feelings, but I think he was sensitive enough to my reaction that he realized its unpleasantness and began exploring possible solutions.
The substance was chosen carefully by Nikolai himself, and at the very least offered a fresh clean scent. His comments regarding it were brief but powerfully and succinctly spoken:
"It smells so good, Daddy!" (repeat 30 times)
He first examined its abilities as a carpet cleaner, applied liberally and firmly. Apparently its performance was lacking somewhat in this capacity, and further experiments were necessary. His next exploration of its powers evidently tested its strengths as a furniture polish. In spite of its boasted "Goes on Clear" feature, it didn't appear to be performing up to its obvious potential when applied to furniture. His final test for this lucky stick of "Gilette Series Power Strip +DRY LOCK Technology" was as a dentifrice. He was very pleased with the results, and the poison control center says that it's only a mild irritant.

His breath smells *much* better.
