Conversation with the Plumber

Him: "Senora, I need to clean the screen on your faucet; do you have a old TEETH BRUSH?"
Me: "TEETH BRUSH?"
Him: "Yes, you know, for brushing the teeth, I need a teeth brush to clean this little screen. Do you have a old one?"
Me: "Oh you mean a TOOTHBRUSH, the correct word in English is TOOTHBRUSH."
Him: "Do Gringo's only brush one tooth at a time? That must be a lot of work."
