Genuine cause for concern

In comparison with the torment caused by the sight of Luca handling the orange toothbrush, Mimi's possible apprehension about going to play school for the first day vanished instantly.
She is after all well able for play school.
The orange tooth brush on the other hand is indeed the one used by Mum yesterday to clean the dog shit off Luca's shoes (with several kettles of boiling water and much gagging)
Mimi has already understood one valuable lesson: everything can be put into perspective when compared to a greater evil.

PS: Luca, if you've been good at school today, Daddy will buy you a new tooth brush. If you haven't... well, I guess you already know... the orange brush is yours!
