Dangling Bras From Whitened Teeth

It is never good to place a tube of super glue next to a tube of teeth whitener. Imagine? So Jenn hopped into her car, late for an appointment. She was sure she could get there, put on her make up and bra and be ready to go in the nick of time. So she just threw her purse, make up bag, and bra on the passenger seat next to her and off she went. As she got comfortable in  the pace of traffic, she began to calm down and enjoy the ride.

Then she noticed the tube of teeth whitener and decided to multi-task while she drove. Unfortunately, as you may have guessed she grabbed the super glue instead of the whitener. To avoid permanently sticking her top lip to her teeth, she grabbed the ever so handy bra and began to wipe away her mistake. The problem became worse as the helpful bra decided to adhere to her teeth. Of course, the superglue was just doing what it was supposed to do.

With her heart now racing, Jenn tried to remember if she had taken her high blood pressure medicine. Hopefully!

Dangling from her mouth as she drove through town, the bra was at least newer and freshly washed. Gotta look for the positives in these unusually trying situations. Her dentist seemed like a better destination at this point than the appointment she was now never going to show up to. Luckily,  everything turned out okay, no permanent damage, and a  great story for her friends to share.

Jenn shared this story when I was at Young Life camp with her after I had my own embarrassing moment. The 1 thing I hate about camp is the fact that I snore and keep my middle school friends awake. So before this trip, I found some throat spray that was guaranteed to prevent snoring. The directions said to spray it at the very back of your throat.

As I was showing Jenn how to apply the spray, mouth wide open. I took 2 generous sprays, only to find out I was holding hair spray! Cough, hack, cough! After I was finally able to breathe again and obviously more humiliated than injured, the cabin erupted with laughter at my unfortunate episode.

Actually, hair spray works as well at preventing snoring as snore spray. This is code for neither does a darn thing!

The moral of the story here is this:  If you are going to do something high on the DUMB meter, be sure you have a loving friend close that can come up with a zinger to take the focus off your stupidity.

Thanks Jenn for your dangling bra story.

In Him,
Joyfully remembering
