virtuous toothbrush
I bought myself a new toothbrush a few days ago. I used it for the first time tonight.
Yow! Don't I feel good about myself?! Yes, I do. My dental hygiene is so vastly improved that I can hear my teeth singing, "Oh, Dotty! Such pretty teeth!"
Which reminds me...on Saturday I went to see my dad's family for a Memorial Day picnic. As they are wont to do, they started telling stories from their childhood. Their stories are usually pretty good and since all the siblings were together (we're usually missing one), we got some new ones.
My aunt was telling a story about how Grandma would go out to an event now and again. On such occasions, she'd wear lipstick. My aunt said, "I always thought she looked so pretty. Of course she had false teeth then, I guess this happened...so her teeth were kind of green. But I thought it looked so nice with her green teeth and her pretty red lips."
She laughed and I laughed and I thought, "Hey. Better get a toothbrush and some dental floss. And some red lipstick."
