She's the one that got me to floss. I had never flossed my entire life  
until my mission. I was in Saint Louis and my father realized that  
since I was in the states, I could find a local doctor and it would  
still be covered by insurance. So instead of going two years without a  
cleaning, he had me make an appointment. "The girl" asked me how often  
I flossed and I sheepishly smiled and said never. She then came around  
in front of me, put her hands on the armrests, and leaned in close and  
looked me straight in the eye and said "you're going to floss… every  
day." I said yes and have flossed every day since.
