TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME

i'm coming clean today. i've had a secret for a couple of months. i don't know how it's going to be received on the homefront (bill).

a couple months ago, i learned (via our blog) that bill didn't know i was using "his" toothbrush in the shower. refresher: *i* put a basket in the shower about 15 years ago with a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste. i told bill that he could use it, too, if he wanted. there was never any attempt to deceive him and let him think that this was for his personal use only. i don't know. there's never been more than one toothbrush at a time in there. i have no idea how to reconstruct his thinking - i have no desire to try - scares me, to be perfectly honest. i don't know how he could have missed my using this thing for the past fifteen years. he's often in the bathroom, too, while i'm showering. AND i like to do the fritoh-bandito hum-song while i'm brushing. he must have heard me.

anyway, after i complained about the new toothbrush in the shower (it was too pointy!!) and asked him to throw it out, he did. WITHOUT POINTING OUT HIS BELIEF THAT THE FREAKING POINTED TOOTHBRUSH WAS HIS. then he blogged about it. i guess it freaked him out that i was sharing a toothbrush with him. he was grossed out and went out and bought TWO new toothbrushes for the shower. his is a blue and red thing (i think it's like a power rangers toothbrush - i can't see exactly what it is in the shower cuz i'm blind without my glasses. mine's white - and I DON'T LIKE HOW IT FEELS IN MY MOUTH. so ...

i've been using bill's power rangers toothbrush for the past couple of months. i put a little toothpaste on mine and rinse it off without using it.

OMFG, you two completely kill me! This is the funniest thing I've heard/read in forever. Holy crap, Stacey. I was sitting here wondering back when he posted it why you cared that his toothbrush was too pointy but it escaped MY attention that you'd be using it or you wouldn't give a rat's ass. I'm slow, though. Ask my daughter. She'll tell you all about it. LMAO...

Ahhh hahaha, that is priceless. At least you don't clean your nails with "his" toothbrush! :-)

Which reminds me...be sure to let Jackson know that I did not use his toothbrush when I visited.

I suppose I shouldn't ask why you couldn't just get a toothbrush you like, instead of this secretive, furtive stealing of Bill's toothbrush.

Tsk, tsk. What kind of toothbrush DO you like? I'll send you half-a-dozen- cuz eeewwwww to the toothbrush sharing! ;-)

So that is where Garrett learned his "oh yeah, I brushed my teeth" trick.... I get it now!

OMG Stace - that was absolutely hilarious. The next time you are at the store, maybe you should get him a Mickey Mouse one instead of the power rangers - just so that he won't get confused.
