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.

Ha, ha, ha! Make sure to floss those toes regularly, and don't forget the baby powder. ~ Dr. Spock

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.
