The In-Between

Wash your face; brush your teeth. Take special care of underneath, For what horrible happens no one knows If you forget the between-the-toes!

Nice humour Elizabeth, so very wise and needful advice. In recent months having got diabetes type 2 so wash feet nightly now including between toes too! Have a great weekend, Gordon

That's so funny, Elizabeth! It's true-- at my house,toes were never part of the drill.

Thanks, Ann! It was part of the bath-time litany, but those days, we were all barefoot! Elizabeth

fun and fantastic write, keep your golden quill making us laugh Elizabeth. The in-between-the-toes is very important! Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

I suppose that's what they were afraid of but with no facts! I remember Mom's scolding about it (in the zinc tub on the kitchen floor, my baby brother on my lap for me to wash him, too) Elizabeth.

Reminds me of the advice parents used to give to kids, make sure you have clean underwear in case you're in an accident lol. Tom

Just a memory, Wendy. And I wondered why we'd been so concerned. Elizabeth
