> Ahhhhh
> The joys of having Girls. My mother taught me to read when
> I was four years old (her first mistake). One day, I was in
> the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar.
> I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why

> Didn't they belong in the kitchen?
> Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told

> My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my
