Any particular part of toothbrushing that set you up for fear of the end of days? Or are you teasing me?<br /><br />Steve, cruel author, though I attempt to be a good brother. Just ask my sister how nice I am to that damned cat (which, with my allergy levels, could kill me).<br /><br />Laurita, that's how you twist the knife, right?<br /><br />Adam Byatt, Gany/Catherine and David/Doodles, glad you all got a laugh. Thanks much for reading.<br /><br />Rachel, maybe some distant day she'll drink her brother's water ration and let him rot in the sun. Or maybe she won't feed his goldfish while he's away.<br /><br />Aidan, I'm on my way to the bathroom to floss as I'm answering this.
