So waking up and finding cake next to my bed is pretty much the best thing ever. Is it someone's birthday? I thought Kurt made it for me but he had one too (until about ten minutes ago, anyway) and didn't know where it came from either. We figured it's a comm thing, so whoever sent it out, please tell him it's not poisoned and I'm not gonna like,

You have one, too?!

[pinball_baby]

Yep! Did you eat yours already? It's really good.

I woke up with a cake on my face, Finn!

[pinball_baby]

...Why was it on your face?

[negative_five]

I don't know! It was a miracle I didn't suffocate because I woke up choking on something that was definitely not vegan! I had to brush my teeth an additional four times on top of the two I normally do!

[pinball_baby]

Oh, man. I totally forgot it's not vegan. Are you okay?

...You brush your teeth twice? Like, at the same time of day?

[negative_five]

I nearly choked to death, Finn!

Yes. Once upon waking, and then again after breakfast.

[pinball_baby]

But you...didn't, obviously.

Huh. Weird. Is that 'cause of what happened that time Doctor Howell came to glee, or have you always done that?

[negative_five]

Well, yes, but that's hardly the point.

I've always done that. Following Dr. Howell's visit I began to brush at the top of every hour, but was warned about two weeks later that I would brush off the enamel with my vigor, and so I stopped.

[pinball_baby]

I know. It sucks that that happened to you.

Enamel? What's that?

[negative_five]

Well, I'm glad someone understands.

Protective coating on teeth, Finn. If you eat or drink something acidic, it's there to protect you from it attacking your teeth directly.

[pinball_baby]

What do you mean? Did people not care or something?

But I thought teeth were like...bone or whatever. They should be pretty strong anyway, right?

[negative_five]

No, I just like to have people agreeing with me.

Well, yeah, but they're sensitive, too. That's why there's things like toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

[pinball_baby]

...Oh. Right.

My mom has to use that stuff, otherwise she can't eat ice cream and stuff.

[negative_five]

Precisely! It's like that.

[pinball_baby]

So enamel's important. I'll try and remember that.

...Why are we talking about teeth?
