R.I.P little toothbrush (Anna)

R.I.P Emma's toothbrush.

Emma's toothbrush, a regular guest in our home, died an untimely death this morning in the toilet bowl of the upstairs bathroom, at the hands of a curious toddler.

Although having a reputation by some for having a rather bristly character, Toothbrush was known by close family for her soft side, and will be remembered fondly for her love of being held close and the obvious joy she experienced while dancing in circles. She had a calm, even temperement that held her in good stead during the bitings and meltdowns that were a frequent part of her chosen line of work.

Experts speculate that the last sounds Toothbrush would have heard were "splash" and a babe's delighted chuckle.

Although revival is sometimes possible in cases of toothbrush drowning, it is exceptionally rare when the body of water involved is a toilet.
