For quite some time, oral hygiene has been a contentious issue our household. Some of us believe that Sarah brushes her teeth too hard, others of us believe that she brushes with adequate force. Generally, the debate has revolved around the fact that the bristles of Sarah's toothbrush deteriorate exponentially faster than mine do. Some could argue that I simply don't brush as long or as often, but, as of tonight, those who put forth such theories would be decidedly wrong.

Earlier this evening, I was sitting at the computer, and Sarah was getting ready for bed in the other room; the sound of her furious brushing served as white noise, and I was enjoying an interesting article about unnecessary lawsuits and torte reform. Suddenly, the relative silence was interrupted by a resounding, "CRACK!"

Let me ask you this: do toothbrushes generally snap in half when they are being used appropriately?

P.S. The answer is not "Yes. Yes they do."

I wanted to post something interesting. Something provocative. Something about how everyone picks their nose, but if you catch someone else doing it you a) pretend to be grossed out, or b) ridicule them. But I can't. I just got done playing three hours of basketball, my elbow hurts, the only thing I've eaten today is a sandwich, and Seinfeld is on.

Just when the Hay Fever seems to be on its way out, WHAM!, your face itches so much that you can't go to sleep. At least, that's what happened to me. Either that, or we have bed bugs.

Stupid Pistons.

If you're ever in the mood for propaganda, for a movie with barely-covert anti-Christian themes, for your children to be simultaneously entertained and brainwashed, then I recommend renting the animated musical/film, "Happy Feet".

If you saw Happy Feet, and you don't know what I'm talking about, I encourage you to watch it again, this time paying careful attention to the underlying themes and messages about the Church, family relations, and personality theory/human development. I'll bet they thought no one would notice.
