The toothpaste foam and the peppermint shampoo.The next day, to pay Mrs Twit back for the wormy spaghetti, Mr Twit had a great idea. He thought that he could put her shampoo in her toothpaste and her toothpaste in her shampoo. So, at night, when Mrs Twit was sleeping, silently, he went to the bathroom and put the shampoo in an empty glass, and did the same with the toothpaste. Then, he cleaned the tube of the toothpaste and the shampoo bottle and changed its content.
At nine o’clock, the alarm rang and Mrs Twit got up and went to the bathroom to have a shower. Mr Twit said her:
-Oh, my dear, I’m going to prepare you a fantastic breakfast. Have a shower and when you finish I’ll be downstairs, at the kitchen, with your smelly coffee and your fried eggs made with all my love.
-Great! Oh darling, why are you so lovely today?
-My sweety love, I love you very much. That’s it!
Then, Mrs Twit went to the bathroom to have a shower and Mr Twit to the kitchen, to prepare her breakfast.
While Mrs Twit was lathering her hair, he smelled something strange in her shampoo. It was a minty smell. She didn’t care and continued lathering her hair. When she finished, she went downstairs to have a breakfast, a fantastic breakfast prepared by her lovely husband.
When she arrived to the kitchen, her husband told her:
-Oh my lovely sweety teddy bear, you smell like mint! You’re like a beautiful peppermint plant! - and he started laughing.
Mrs. Twit didn’t pay attention to his comment, because she was surprised about the fantastic breakfast he had prepared.
They had breakfast, enjoying the moment, reading the newspaper. When they finished, Mr Twits said her:
-Darling, go upstairs, to the bathroom and brush your teeth. I think you’ve got something between your teeth.
Then, she went to the bathroom and she put the toothpaste on the toothbrush and…
-Mr Twit! What have you done?! This is my shampoo!
And Mr Twit started laughing lying on the floor.
