The Sign of Love

I picked up the supermarket's free magazine today. It included an article about the importance of cleaning one's teeth, presumably with toothpaste and brushes purchased from the supermarket in question. The dentist interviewed said parents should teach their children good tooth cleaning habits, such as brushing for two to three minutes and not rinsing. Not rinsing? Is that a typo, do you think? Who doesn't rinse after brushing?
(I've just looked on the internet and found several pages giving conflicting advice. Some say don't rinse and give the fluoride in the toothpaste time to get in; some say rinse and get rid of any bits of rubbish left after brushing. What a dilemma. I think I'll stay pro-rinsing.)
Victoria, the state in which I live, has a new state premier called Denis Napthine, who is my local member. So that's exciting. Not really. I didn't vote for him. I saw him and his son looking at dog food in the supermarket once, so there's that. My mother sat near him during a performance of Menopause: The Musical, and reported that he didn't laugh once. Oh, and back when I worked at the community radio station, one of my fellow newsreaders once came in and said, 'Sorry, I'm late, Denis Napthine popped in while I was doing the dishes in my nightie.' Awkward. But it turned out they were friends, so that was all right.
