To swallow or not to swallow
The p and d arrived earlier today, before I had cleaned my teeth. I heard his van draw up, and hastily started to clean my teeth expecting him to sit in his van for a few minutes as he usually did. However, today he got out of his van as soon as he arrived and rang the doorbell while I had a mouthful of toothpaste. I should have spat it out straight away and cleaned my teeth later but, not wishing to waste it, (all the exhortations to recycle are making me obsessed with waste) I opened the door to let him in holding my toothbrush behind my back ready to resume cleaning. Unfortunately, he began to chat. I had a dilemma, to swallow the toothpaste or grunt replies. I chose the latter and hoped he could understand what I said. I had an uncomfortable few minutes all because I was reluctant to waste a gob of toothpaste.
Thought for today
Don't take life too seriously--you will never get out of it alive.
