Fine! I'll Do It!

But the only way I'll do it is if you, my friends, help me.
First of all, don't be afraid to ask me how I'm doing.
Sure, I'll be all testy and such for the first few weeks, but that's to be expected, right?
Secondly, carry gum/mints/toothpicks something on you at all times to hand over to me.
Lord knows I won't be able to just drop the oral part of this fixation easily.
Third!!! Don't act all "You should have done this a long time ago." Cuz I know that. And I tried a long time ago. It just didn't take.
And finally, don't complain when I take up something equally annoying. Like the harmonica or the zither. Oh yeah. It's already been 24 hours. Think I can get the stink out before my mom's arrival on Thursday?
