You know you’ve lost your charm when you leave the house with a mouth draped in greenery. 
I’m a pretty well-coiffed girl. I am, spending quite a bit of time shampooing and perfuming as if I were Marie Antoinette.
But it seems, I’ve too lost my head.
My friend, Tony the grocer, gave me a colossal container of grilled spinach I happily took home and devoured. It was like old Italian times the way I warmed it up in a little salt and extra virgin olive oil. Takes so little to float my boat, and apparently, also my spinach.
I brushed my teeth before bed, and again in the morning.
So why was there a wad of it gouged in my front tooth like slimy seaweed. (Did I just say that?)
I see my ex who lives down the street, first time in a year, and when I stop to say, so how are you…he says, “You’ve got something really ugly stuck in your tooth..ooh,” then walks away.
Have you ever thought, wow…when I left him, I sure dodged a bullet? I did, when I ran back upstairs to floss with a jumper cable.

I’ve always felt a kinship with her on many levels, especially when eating cake.

I think you could choose a better role model. Her most famous (infamous?) contribution to posterity is an utter detachment from the starving masses, whilst she wallowed in luxury. Not really your style, Susannah?

Ok, it’s official, I’m very close to the edge. My immediate response to reading “You’ve got something really ugly stuck in your tooth..ooh,” then walks away, was “you have something ugly on your face, oh, it’s just your face.” While you went to floss, I would be pulling this guys hair. I think I need help!
The spinach sounds delicious!

That’s the Italian in you, on both counts. He’s about as charming as a fart in an elevator. I’m now carrying a hand mirror and floss at all times. No Xmas card for old times sake this year.

Susannah, why is it that when somethings is adhered to a tooth, it’s a bad hair day, etc. you see an old flame that you haven’t seen in a long time? Sure, we probably don’t want him back, but at the same time I know I want him to want me back. Or at least suffer a little pang of regret.
My big English teeth are filled with nooks and crannies, so I have a tiny mirror in a pocket of my purse to constantly check them.
