When he grew up, he was going to be like his big brother.
Tall. Proud. Sturdy. Up to the task.
For now, he had to comfort himself with the benefits of smaller stature.
Getting into nooks and crannies, fitting where his brother could not bend or fold to reach.
When he grew up, he was going to be like his brother.
Heavily bristled. Proudly mustached.
Meanwhile, Brush put his still-short-bristles to good use through many chores.
This way, once grown, he could graduate to being a Broom.

From little brushes, big brooms grow! Nice one Na’ama.

Oh my, what a lovely, if bristly, story, Na’ama. They come in all shapes and sizes, down to those fitting into metal drinking straws, brushing ones eyebrows, or getting between teeth. And then there is the big brother aspect. 🙂

Brush sends his sincere gratitude from the closet under the sink, where he is enjoying a well deserved Sunday rest. He very much likes being acknowledged. 🙂

LOL! Brow Brush says not to sweat the small stuff and that her and Eyelash Brush usually see eye to eye and are perfectly content with their lives whether people care about them or not. That said, she notes that Tooth Brush is utterly too mouthy, and that Toilet Brush tends to feel like … um … crap … a lot of the time. 😉 Your NYNF
