Meaning: Thing
You’re brushing your mouth with a cross shaped thing. I’d say you were brushing just your teeth, but look at that thing. You’re brushing your whole mouth whether you like it or not. It’s actually kind of painful.
Imagine having this strange thing poking you in your gums, tongue, and cheeks. It’s not pleasant. That thing is spiky! What is this thing?
Reading: じ
What would Jesus do? Would Jesus stick this thing in his mouth? No. Then why are you doing it? Jesus does not approve. He is there watching you, shaking his head.
Imagine the shame you must feel when a disappointed Jesus sees you using this strange cross thing to brush your mouth. Jesus never forgets.
