The Hydrophoby...

My fellow Olds: Remember in "Old Yeller" (best sad dog movie EVER) when O.Y. gets bitten by the rabid wolf and starts foaming at the mouth? (oops, spoiler alert)

THAT is exactly what I look like when I brush my teeth.  Try as I might, I can't brush without toothpaste foam cascading down onto my nightgown.

I've tried brushing with my mouth closed, using less toothpaste, and anything else I can think of.  I suspect I'm doomed to messy toothbrushing forever...

lol, I TOLD you I had nothing new to blog about. So this is what you get :-) And I'm going to the Post Office later, can I blog about that.

Also, agreed, I'm an incredibly messy eater. Maybe there's something wrong with my mouth...

I am messy and seem to love to try and talk too! It's awesome.

The only thing saving me is knowing that B-Z is just as messy w the toothbrush. Must be genetics.

so glad to see that last comment, I was just going to admit my sameness. I cannot understand HOW people can walk around the house while brushing, or that they do not foam at the mouth. What are we doing???

okay just getting home fro Atlanta and reading missed posts. Did want to comment on bad TV as I have had many late hours to kill in my sad little hotel room. Caught Toddlers and Tiaras, now those moms (and ugly dads) are the saddest people of all and their kids are not much better. Love all of thes "high brow" contests they must enter, and the venue is some little side room in a hotel with twenty half filled folding chairs and the same five little girls at all the contests. This is awful. Only to be topped by "Storage Wars"???? Not sure of the name but this is a group of guys who bid on storage lockers, merchandise unseen. They have all kind of tricks up their sleeves to fool each other into bidding on bad units, and it was on over and over. Thank god cake wars came on and I was saved.

My mom, hands down, the foamiest teeth brusher on the planet. Seriously. She couldn't move from over the sink if her life depended on it. Me, on the other hand, I can brush, blog, change a diaper, do some push ups. So thank God I didn't get the rabies gene (don't worry, I got a lot of other bad ones:)). And MOTHER, I had no idea you watched all this crappy TV...we need to talk more about this stuff and less about Health Care Reform.

love all those shows, Zaids! T&T is soooo trashy, last week when the mom forced the poor little girl to have her eyebrows waxed, I was ready to call CPS (but wanted to see who won the crown). Welcome back, fellow rabies sufferer! I was wondering where you were.
