This would be a lot more disgusting if we were room mates.

Uh. wildernessguru and I have forgotten which toothbrush is whose.

I was using the red-handled one, but then one night we went to bed at the same time (unusual) and he reached for that one. Oh. Turned out he was using that one for a while.

Fine, fine, we could switch. But then I brushed my teeth before him one night and he went into the bathroom, found the toothbrush he'd been using damp and said,

"Honey. Which toothbrush are you using?"

Honestly, I thought it was the blue one, but I may have accidentally switched back to the red one and--

--this would be a lot more disgusting if we were roommates.

Why don't you just throw these ones out and start using new ones?

I always make sure that my toothbrush is on the red/pink end of the spectrum and hubby's is on the blue/green end.

But that would be a waste of a perfectly good toothbrush....

This is why for years I insisted on always having a green toothbrush. It's automatic - the green one is always *MINE.* However, there was a time when I couldn't find green, and the result was somewhat near to chaos. All back to the proper color scheme now :)

the thing i find disgusting is DH's beard hairs still in *my* razor. I mean, I guess I don't mind using the same one, but clean the damn thing before putting it back, wouldjya!!?

This plan works better when I buy the toothbrushes. The thing is, I don't think I ever have, and I just know that this is the sort of thing I can't expect him to remember. You see, he can remember detailed information on pack specifications, and quote back how many F-16 the Isreali Air Force has, and exactly what ships (size, displacement, type, age, what country they were purchased from) Iran has, and the current estimated budget for China's military -- and yet he still asks me every year, "What date is Halloween again?"

DH says, "of course he has to ask, he's got all that other stuff taking up all the space in his head!" LOL

What's a little extra bodily fluid between partners?

:D

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what difference does it make?

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. You've merged, dear, it's too late to turn back now. : )

I think ten years ago, this would have bothered me.

*ROFL!* Good thing you swap spit anyway. XD

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I figure... kissing... same toothbrush-? Eh.

S'why I used to borrow Zach's when I was at his house. I never did end up getting my own there, but then, it only lasted just short of two years.

*grins at you*

I would imagine you'd be a lot more motivated to recall which toothbrush was which if you were just roommates. I know I never had that sort of mix-up with any of mine.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

LOL! Good point.

That reminds me of a manga I read a while ago. Boy A has an obsession with anything that boy B (one of his hallmates) has touched, handled, put in his mouth, etc; he snatches boy B's chopsticks, pencils, etc. all through the manga. About a third of the way through, boy B says, "Where's my toothbrush?"

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

LOL! That's good.

After being with my boyfriend for eight years, I still get creeped out when we end up using the same toothbrush. All things considered, sharing a toothbrush should be the least of my worries. LOL

It probably says something that my first thought was "one toothbrush will wear out faster."
