Toothpaste Temperments

My amazing Colgate!
Terrell's fantastically clean Crest.

I had to take a break from school and rest my brain. The best way to do that is to let my creative juices flow here!

This morning I was checking out our toothpaste. I know, that's kind of crazy! Here's a little Toothpaste story for you... Once upon a time there were two happily married people sharing one tube of toothpaste. One squeezed it from the top, the other squeezed it from the bottom. One day there was a brand new tube sitting on the counter. Wow. New toothpaste. The bride of this lovely marriage was told never to touch the groom's toothpaste again. "Here. This is yours." The bride felt sad almost betrayed. "Not share toothpaste?" Many years later the bride looked upon the two tubes, sitting so far from one another, and thought... "I'm so glad I have my own tube of toothpaste." The couple is still happily married!
So.. which are you? Does your toothpaste describe your tempermant? Ours sure do! Do tell... are you a messy, cleany, top or bottom squeezer?

We still share but not a tube-the bottle kind-you can't really screw that up otherwise I WOULD!

We are both middle squeezers who also squeeze from the bottom to fill out the middle every now and then. So funny...we have other differences, but that one we agree on.

My wife is a "squeeze from the top" kind of person. I'm more of the "do it right" persuasion [smile]. So I just use the counter to squeeze everything out of the bottom and keep it all at the top for her once a week. Our system works pretty well.

OK, I love your husband because he makes me feel like I'm normal! Too many projects ("important things to do") to be spending much time on fb and if you're gonna do that to the toothpaste, here's your own tube. I laugh at how similar we are. Years ago I caught my husband using my toothbrush by mistake - I no longer put mine in the holder with his. Recently I saw him drink the mouthwash straight from the bottle - now we have separate bottles. There are other things . . . my pillow, my water . . . Yes, I know, I do kiss the man, so who cares. I think it's just some sort of personal space issue or something . . . a need for order in some places in your life. I don't know. But aren't we all funny?
