Haha. The image of Aubrey holding your sleeping-but-grinding jaw and saying, “stop grinding!” is great. So funny. Have I mentioned how much I like your wife? I told Micah the other day that if I marry a girl that really likes your wife then I’ll know I’ve done well.

So you may already know this, but enough people grind their teeth in their sleep that there is a sub-industry of companies making night time “teeth guards” for people like you. They’re like comfortable mouth guards. You can go on grinding without damaging your teeth and without waking Aubrey.

Just google “teeth grinding mouth guard”.

I’ve totally got your solution. You should follow my lead and let your teeth grinding cause you to develop temporomandibular joint disorder—the dreaded TMJ. The doctor will then recommend a painful and expensive surgery that you can’t afford emotionally or financially. Then voilà. You’ll stop grinding.

Or you’ll keep grinding and need the surgery.

I’m still working on getting over the nail bitting thing too.
