Brush Quandary

When you can't find a brush anywhere in your house, you go out to the store and buy four more brushes.

When you have four brushes, you have to clean four brushes almost everyday.

When two brushes disappear, one brush eaten by the dog, you have one brush left.

Ugh!

When you can't find a single brush in the house again, you were smart to actually buy five brushes and secretly hide one in your room.
