Stupid things I have said, part 4000

[thejunipertree]

I can get kind of slappy when I'm exhausted, many of you are aware of this. Especially Miss Robin, who given half the chance, would love to tell the world about my questioning if we were in a 'square state' when we visited Las Vegas.

Today was probably the highest point in my career of being a verbally sloppy person.

Standing outside, on a smoke break with Joanna and Dare. I remark that I have a piece of a Frito stuck in my tooth and Joanna replies that she wishes she could brush her teeth.

Me: You could always borrow Manon's (a co-worker) toothbrush.
Jo: I think not.
Me: Or! Or! Or! You could get a stick from one of those trees, strip the bark off one end, then chew on it until it's all fibery. Then you could brush your teeth with that.
Jo: *stares at me*
Me: That's how the cavemen brushed their teeth. Clan of the Cave Bear told me so.
Jo: Cavemen did not brush their teeth, Tara. Not even with sticks.
Me: Well. Not the real cavemen. But the predecessors to homeo sapiens.
Jo: HOMEO?!
Me: *covering my face with my hands* I meant homo. I meant HOMO!
