no.70 - The Toothbrush Dilema

For those of you who have stuck around during the lean last two months of this blog, I should explain that the problem with postings appears to be my toothbrush.

According to Parenting magazine, a publication I have come to detest, when you are sick you should toss your old toothbrush so you don't reinfect yourself. After recovering from Beaver Fever my family and I have been afflicted with the worst cold I can ever remember and it just won't go away.

It must be the toothbrush. I have not followed Parenting's advice because, well, it is impossible.

Think about it, when do you trash the toothbrush? When you first get sick? That makes no sense, you're sick, you'll infect yourself! No, obviously you need to replace your toothbrush when you stop being sick. But I won't stop being sick until I can use a toothbrush that won't re-infect me. If I change toothbrushes in the middle of being sick, I'll just spread the illness to my new toothbrush.

What the hell?

The only logical solution would be to buy a new toothbrush every single day until I am better and I refuse to do that.

*cough*

Dammit!
