Brush Thoroughly After Meals

A tube of toothpaste is properly equipped with sound advice, "Brush thoroughly after meals."

I attended a bridal shower where many of my favorite foods were in attendance, foods I don't normally purchase for myself. I had delicious quiche, chocolate dipped strawberries, fresh fruit, cinnamon swirl coffee cake, cream cheese pastries, and coffee. I indulged to my hearts content. The shower was delicious.

I had the opportunity to chat with people that I hadn't seen in a while and catch up on their daily happenings. I met new people and swapped family stories. I questioned, listened, shared, questioned, and absorbed.

When I finally left and made my way home I was greeted my daughter. She interrupted the conversation I was having with my youngest boy. "Uh, Mom, you've got something in your teeth." A black strawberry seed sat in my front tooth in full view of all those in conversation with me, throughout the bridal shower. While I chatted, I assume that people tried to listen, but were distracted, while staring at the seedling nestled in my tooth.

If I had followed the directions on the toothpaste container, my tooth trouble would have never transpired. Note to self: Bring a toothbrush and toothpaste - everywhere, in order to avoid seedlings and their friends.

Oh no! Tragically, we've all been there before, and I'm sure everyone can feel your pain. I went on a first date with a super cute new pair of jeans I just bought. When we went to sit down, he noticed a strip of clear sticker that ran down my thigh displaying my size--Oops! I love your blog by the way, it's defiantly a daily read for me! Thanks for the entertainment- you always make me laugh.

Linda,

There was no seed in your teeth when I was talking to you. Honest! I would have told you.
Maybe it was the handful of strawbeeries you grabbed as you were heading out the door.
