Me: Jay, did you brush your teeth?
Jay: Yup. If you don’t believe me, you can even ask Will.
Will: He did. I saw him…using MY toothbrush!
Me: Jay!
Jay: What? I couldn’t find mine.
Will: Mom, I can’t take it anymore! The kid uses my toothbrush, doesn’t rinse it and then leaves it on the back of the toilet. Plus, I found his flosser on the floor next to the toilet. It’s disgusting! You’ve gotta build another bathroom.
Jay: Hey! That’s hurtful.
Me: Jay, don’t use your brother’s toothbrush again. That’s how you spread germs.
Jay: But I’m not even sick.
Me: Just don’t do it, ok? It’s gross.
Jay: You know, I’d let you guys use my toothbrush. I guess that just proves I’m a nicer person.
Will: Jay, I’d let all of my teeth fall out before I used your toothbrush.
Jay: Well, I find that extremely offensive. And you know what, Will? Because you’re being so mean and hateful, I’m not gonna invite you to my next Cheese Show.
Will: Jay, honestly, I don’t even care.
Jay: Actually, I think you will care because I wrote a beautiful inspiring story about cheese and now you’re never gonna hear it because you choose to be selfish with your toothbrush.

Wow, he really took offense to Will! But you’re just going to have to build another bathroom. A mere $50K should cover it!

I’m thinking the cheaper option might be to buy new toothbrushes

If it wasn’t so cold, I’d send them outside with a toothbrush and they could fight over the garden hose.

Ha, I did a cartoon on this a while back.
I think a toothbrush safe would be a lot cheaper than a new bathroom. Everyone gets their own toothbrush safe to keep everyone honest and germ-free.

I guess the back of the toilet is better than IN the toilet.
I’ve had TWO separate incidences of toothbrush-into-toilet.
The funny part is (if I wanted to) I don’t think I could ever recreate that!
And I guess the moral of the story is I should probably get a new toothbrush?! 😉
