Notes

Schnauz's notes

“The soft bristles of this brush—how good they feel when scrubbing one's own back. But how easy it is to lose yourself in the feeling. As they say, "Too much of a good thing is a bad thing." Don't be fooled by this brushing vice! Know when enough is enough!”

Olimar's notes

“Brushing a child's teeth for them is hard work, made worse by the fact that they're oblivious to the perils of tooth decay. I stopped brushing our kids' teeth for a time so they could learn for themselves, but that idea did not go over too well with my wife.”

Louie's notes

“There's something soothing about the way it smells.”
