Excuse me, you have something in your teeth

Dear everyone,

I'm here to tell you once and for all that it is SO OK to tell a person they have something in their teeth - as long as you are discreet and tactful, of course. I shouldn't have to tell you that part.

I get it... Most people are uncomfortable telling others about the piece of broccoli or speck of black pepper that is lodged unknowingly in their teeth. You don't want to embarrass that person. I totally understand your perspective; I really do.

But really, are you knowingly going to let me walk away smiling my huge smile without telling me? Don't worry about embarrassing me. I will be more ticked off that you didn't tell me. You'll thank me for this note the next time you walk around all day with crap in your teeth.

love,
kath
