You toothbrush
I'm going to be on You Tube. I just know it.
Last night, while I was sitting for nearly an hour on Route 28 in gridlock, the remnants of flooded streets and a bomb threat on the tunnels three, I decided to brush my teeth.
I often brush my teeth in the car. I spend more time there than anyplace else. Work is a close second. My house comes in last. And traffic jams, especially traffic jams, present the ideal opportunity for hygiene upkeep. I mean where else can you study Spanish via a book on cd and brush your teeth at the same time. Open your door. Spit. Brush some more. Add more Crest. Repeat after me: Hay un Starbucks cerca?
"Is there a Starbucks nearby?"
As I am repeating my Spanish phrases and brushing my teeth with my Oral B Cross Action, I felt someone was watching me.
I turned, and in the car next to me, this young guy in the passenger seat was filming me with a little handheld. A big drool of white foamy toothpaste slid out of the side of my mouth. The driver of the car took a picture of this latest with his cell phone. All the occupants of the car laughed and drove off.
My only hope is that because my windows were so dirty, maybe they couldn't get a clear picture.

Funny little story Heidi. Brushing your teeth behind the wheel sounds gross, though, and probably should be illegal.
Spitting on the street is really disgusting. As disgusting as spitting chewing tobacco on the street.
