toothbrush analysis

i woke up at 7am. snoozed once then slept until about 7:30. nothing unusual, really. sometimes i even stay in bed until 8am. i was really meant to go in to work early. i guess i've been really tired. or really lazy. it can only be one or the other.

bolted into the shower. in the midst of that, i find my electric toothbrush standing on one of the window sills. and the tiny brush head lying 1.5 inches from the rest of its body.

for the nearly 25 years that i've been alive, i've never forgotten to brush my teeth. if anything, i'd rather skip a shower than to skip a teeth brushing session.

whils the head of the auto toothbrush is detachable, there's a piece of neck that comes with the head, but on this case, that little head is on its own. on closed inspection, the plastic bit is chipped and obviously it's fallen to the ground. i realized that when i picked up the 'body' and found a bit of dust near the feet. yuck. good thing i didn't really intend to put it back and use it nonetheless.

good thing i had a spare toothbrush around. now i'm back to manual. it really doesn't make much of a difference to me. good thing it was almost time to change my toothbrush head anyway.

as to how my toothbrush fell, i have the slightest idea. that window sill is mainly where i keep my stuff and mom's, too. if it had fallen whilst i was awake, i seriously would have realized as it would have been audible. perhaps some other mammal decides to steal a bit of dental floss whilst cleaning them teeth in their sleep, knocks over my lovely gadget and then forgets about rescuing it from the pile of fluff it fell on.

i could have used my apparatus to whack the head of the mammal to give it a lesson. so it can learn to empathize with my toothbrush even for a tiny bit. but then should i proceed onto my intricately mapped-out thoughts, i would deserve to be called a mammal for the most part of my existence. it would have been utterly inconsiderate and inhuman of me to be ever so accusing. and gosh, over a silly toothbrush head that was meant to retire to the bin anyhoo.

all those thoughts pushed aside after the shower. back to reality and ugh, off to work.
