That Silly String (Vic and Floss)


Vic and the floss.  What am I talking about?  The little white string you put between your teeth to clean out last nights or today's food leftovers.  Sounds gross, but Vic is in love with dental floss.  The only problem I have with the stuff is where she leaves it....

Most current locations:

On the floor (I pick it up with my sock)
In the car*
In the purse
In the sink
In the laundry (string on my sweater was floss)
In my Shoes
In our bed
everywhere

Is there a dental floss addiction hot line? 1800 flossed

The funny thing is, we're driving down the road in our Miata with the top down, and out of my seat, you guessed it, I pull that silly string.  I give my beautiful bride the look, and say why don't you throw this away?  She looks at me with a straight face and say, "the little birdies swoop down and pick it out of my car.  You know they use it for building nests, so I leave it our for them."  Wow?  I never thought of that, like they can't use natural things to build their nests, they use dental floss.  I think the birds of West Michigan must get clean bills of health when they visit the birdie dentist.

I on the other hand have discovered the dental pick.  Most people can floss with two hands or maybe one.  I can name that note with no hands, or Look Mom no hands.  I know your impressed, but at least I don't leave my stuff around like Vic.  Its really weird, but the thought of sharing my pick with someone else creeps me out.  Vic-"can I use your floss when your done?"  Yuck!

Well the morel of this story, "friends don't let friends drive while flossing"
no?  how about "Birds of a feather flock together with floss"  no?  how about "Floss a day keeps the tooth Nazi away"  OK, I give up, any suggestions... I'm open....
