Clearly we have toothbrush issues over here.

Last week, we all went to the dentist & had our teeth cleaned. The dentist gave everyone a new toothbrush. When we got home, we realized that we ALL had gotten the same size/type of toothbrush. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. The toothbrushes were FREE after all, but it's just odd (to me) that a couple of 8 year olds would get the same size toothbrush as an adult. I suppose they all do the same job, but I wanted something a little more sizable myself. Oh well, I thought. I'll just use it. No big deal.

Ok, so a week goes by & I'm still unhappy with my new (free!) toothbrush. Last night when I went to the grocery store, I planned to buy myself a new one. On my way out, Larry asked me to get him one, too. He too, was not entirely pleased with the little kid-size brush he'd received.

I went to the store & bought a 2 pack of toothbrushes in a more adult-sized variety. They were 2 different colors, so I figured it would be easy to tell them apart. When I got home, I told Larry:

"ok, there are 2 toothbrushes. One is YELLOW & one is GREEN. I'm going to use the YELLOW one. If you can't remember, just think of me...your sunshine, your light, the yellow-bellied, pansy wife of yours."

Fast forward an hour. I went to brush my teeth before bed & found the YELLOW toothbrush was wet. Hmm...apparently hubby didn't understand my word association game that I'd instructed him in. Ok, so I'll use the GREEN one then! I made a mental note that I no longer "owned" the YELLOW one & was officially switching to the GREEN. I used the green toothbrush & went to bed. Larry was already snoring, so I couldn't tell him about the error he'd made.

This morning, we took the kids to school & then I came back to finish getting ready before work. I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. You know what? The GREEN toothbrush was wet & laying next to the sink (obviously used by my sweetie this morning). When I quit feeling frustrated (about 20 seconds later), I had a good laugh and thought to myself "ok, I've gotta nail him down on which one he wants to use!". I ended up using the YELLOW toothbrush & got out the door to work.

Tonight, Larry went into the bathroom to take a shower & brush his teeth. He came to the door & said "Liz? Which one of these toothbrushes did you say was mine?"

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
