Welp. It happened. Twas a brisk Sunday morning, and I, F21, with the hangover from hell, went to brush my teeth while staring at my mascara stained face. I grabbed my toothpaste without looking. It came out the bottle far too quick, which did inspire some level of concern, but apparently not enough to go back into the cupboard and look at the tube.
I wet the brush and started brushing. 2 seconds in, I realised I smelled something familiar, but I've just lit a soapy candle in my room that I've never used before, so it could just be that. 5 seconds in, it started to feel strange, I wondered wether toothpaste could go off because this just isn't right. 10 seconds, it tastes strange but do you know what I'm just gonna put up with it and hope for the best. 15 seconds, and I go for my daily wander, because I just get bored of brushing my teeth in one spot, sue me. 20 secon- wait. This. This smells familiar. It smells like- ugh I don't know.
25 sec- oh. God. Oh god. Oh god no. I know what this is. It smells like veet cream. It tastes like the smell of veet cream. Tell me I haven't- it's veet cream.
At this point I kinda wanna die, but I'm reassured that the veet cream will take care of this, should I swallow it. Now the best part is that my parents decided to call me at that exact moment. This is the best case scenario as my mother is a Midwife, and my Dad a surgeon. In the UK, I don't know how it is elsewhere, to get into those positions you have to complete a full medical education. My mum had, at one point, trained to be a nurse, doing the majority of that in an A&E (E.R). What I didn't expect was the immediate laugher from the other end of the phone.
I've since realised that I may be the disappointment.
Upon reflection, I didn't panic, like at all. Should I die, know that I found it hilarious, and laughed, with my hairless insides, till the very end. Godspeed.
TLDR: I did it for 30 seconds, me and my hairless insides probably won't die, and I do find it funny.
