Rule #253: No throwing your sister’s toothbrush in the garbage. And if there is an eyewitness account of the toothbrush actually jumping off the counter, rolling across the floor, and launching itself into the garbage can all by itself, please must tell Mommy immediately so she can sell the story for $1,000,000.
Thanks, Lara L.!
