“I was outside putting the rubbish out, right” Ideal Brown says “and I saw this kid in a nightgown running around with an electric toothbrush in the dark”.
I ask if she was white and blonde and he said yes.
She was the child whose “mam” was “in bed” when I was out scouting for the cat. she was about 5 or 6.
I relax and think “Good. If she’s got an electric toothbrush, she can’t possibly be neglected”
and then to replace that thought “`What if she falls while the toothbrush is in her mouth?”
