So tonight I had an experience that I didn't think that I would repeat when it happened the first time. I went to brush my teeth like I do on occasion and I thought the toothpaste was a little off in taste. Then as I brushed a few more vigorous strokes I realized that my mouth was a little more foam filled then the routine usually accounted for. A slow dawning occurred as I remembered this taste, and then my thoughts quickly whisked me to an evening when my curiosity outweighed reason. I was in the bathroom alone, with the instructions to brush my teeth and I wondered...what if I cleaned them with soap instead? I remember pumping the pearly white soap onto my brush and thinking it would probably do just as good a job....lifting the moistened gooey bristles to my mouth and plunging into my experiment! UGGGHHH, YACK! How can I get this taste out?? Water...lots of water, swish and spit....more water quick!! It was awful, a taste you would never forget.
So, tonight when I tasted it on my brush, it didn't take long to figure out what was going on. (Unfortunately, a moment's taste is enough to kill millions of innocent taste buds.) The only question in my mind is who did it? I know it was not myself (although once when Michael and I were first married I mistook his acne cream for my travel toothpaste;) so it must have been one of my children. Either way, I can't be angered, for it was probably curiosity that led them to do it and genius that had them seek out my toothbrush over their own!
Just out of curiosity, has anyone else tried this?
