Always Read the Label

[augusta]

Some may say this would be typical of me. And ... they'd be right. I am out of town for the week and staying with people. I went to brush my teeth today, and there were two tubes - a big standard size tube of Aim, and a little tube that had the colors of Colgate. I thought I'd do my hosts a favor by using up some of the little tube. The woman of the house was in the bathroom at the same time using her hot rollers. We were chatting away, and I'm in the middle of brushing my teeth and the toothpaste just had no taste to it. I was kidding and I said, "I hope this is toothpaste!" We both turned the small tube over. It was hydrocortizone cream.

I had not swallowed any of it. I rinsed. And rinsed. And brushed with toothpaste. And rinsed.

I looked at her and imitating the mother from "Throw Mamma from the Train", said, "I just had a dream! Dr. Davenport was trying to kill me!"
