Yesterday, I cleaned Jenn's comb after combing out Evangeline's hair.

I really hate seeing hair trapped in a comb or a brush, and I hate even more seeing that lint around the bottom of the teeth or bristles.

When it was done, the light happened to be just right and I realized (ew) that every tooth was covered, top to bottom, with scales of dried skin and oil!

Ew, ew, ew, ew, EW! I've been going after it with a needle off and on for the past few days trying to scrape all that gunk off the teeth. Be easier to buy a new one, but then I wouldn't have the satisfaction of knowing that I got rid of all that. (And this for a woman who ate all of my jam thumbprints, and a good pound and a half worth of my blondie!)

So, the message here? Either look a lot more closely at your combs, or, possibly, a lot *less* closely. Because that's just disgusting.
