She removed every last stitch of clothing from her body and pulled on his shirt. She felt surrounded by him. Pausing for a moment, her eyes fell to her toothbrush standing in the glass by the sink. Beside his. There was something comforting and meaningful about their toothbrushes resting side by side like that. Smiling, she took a deep breath and snapped out of her silly toothbrush vision. He was waiting for her.

Real life is about toothbrushes and dinner and getting the kids to sleep (in their own beds!)

Very true. I took this out of a very old piece of fiction… A little realism in my romanticized fiction… 🙂

Well, it’s fiction… for me anyway. And originally written long ago… But yes… *that* feeling.

Surely you’ve had that feeling, at some point? 😕

Oh yeah… I have. It’s been a loooooong time. But I originally wrote this (as part of a much much longer piece of fiction) back in 2002.

Gotcha. I love that feeling! My kids would give me the feels something fierce when they were babies, and fall asleep in my chest. Or I’d watch my wife doing…whatever…with them. It was intense! 😃

I do hope the brushes were behaving, with no bristle to bristle contact!

It was the daily post prompt… and I actually had this from something I wrote many years ago. So weird I had something about toothbrushes… 😃

oooo that makes sense! lol and yes super weird! But the daily prompts seem to repeat themselves a lot
or at least when I was using them to get ideas I found lots of overlap

I hardly ever use them so I haven’t noticed that. Those (or any) prompts don’t often work for me… I’ve never really been a big fan. I don’t know why. But I’ve been having trouble posting lately so I needed SOMETHING. I guess my life is so boring that I have nothing interesting to say…

Your life is so full of emotions and thoughts your brain is coming up at a blank on what to write

Actually, that’s likely. My brain is always in overdrive. But I still think my life is too boring. Outside my head, anyway. It would be nice if I had the means (financially and especially psychologically) to change that… but I really don’t. I feel kind of trapped. And stuck. But not stuck in mud… it’s more like stuck in cement…!
