toothpaste
Living in a dorm means having to share your showers, bathrooms, and very often, rooms with other people.
Went to brush my teeth just now and after half a minute of brushing I looked down and saw that because I had been leaning against the sink, a bit of toothpaste got onto my pajamas pants.
The blasphemy! These are my favorite PJs! They keep me warm and it's soft and fluffy, and it has 'I ♥ chocolate' and cocoa cup prints all over.
Who's the bitch who brushed her teeth and spat everywhere without flushing away the toothpaste?!?!?!
I tsk-ed and inwardly cursed the person who did it, whoever she was, but the very next moment my mind was arrested by a memory of myself, at a sink – a pale yellow one, wide, with bottles and bottles of products laid out.
My sink from my bathroom back home.
I was standing in front of the mirror too, about to brush my teeth, still using the same brand of toothpaste (Colgate, by the way, in case you were wondering), when I looked down and saw two coagulated pieces of toothpaste in the sink.
Then, I had tsk-ed too, irritated. In the evening when my parents were home I caught my mom and bitched to her.
"叫 Ziliang 不要每次刷牙以后没有把牙膏洗掉！留在 basin 里面很恶心！"
My mom turned to my brother and berated him, and he responded with a series of halfhearted grunts to pacify her.
Back in that disgusting Walker Annex bathroom, I pulled out a towel from the towel dispenser and wiped the toothpaste off my pants.
And then, smiling, I wiped away the coagulated toothpaste stuck on the sink, just like I had done for my brother many times before.
