The Toothbrush

I only meant to take my own toothbrush out. I didn't even touch his, but the rubber on mine must have grabbed the rubber on his and out they both came. I saw it happening, but couldn't react in time. His toothbrush fell to the floor--behind the toilet where the shit-glazed plunger resides. It fell to shit. God, how it fell to shit.

My first instinct was grab it quick, clean it, try to salvage the brightly colored, $3.50 piece of plastic....try to make it useable again.

Then I remember, he hasn't used that toothbrush in two weeks.

It's still there, I need to throw it away but I don't want to touch it right now.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, or both at the same time. Sometimes the universe has its way with us.
