You have all heard this time and time again "don't run with a sucker in your mouth or mess around when you are brushing your teeth" but yet, you still do it and what happens? NOTHING! As kids, I think that most of us are immune to the bad stuff that your parents say will happen, but as adults.......I think that it is a different story. Everything thing that I was told not to do growing up I did and nothing ever happend. So, as an adult I do the same things and the bad happens. It's crazy how that works out.

About a week ago I was getting ready for bed as I usually do, brushing my teeth and tormenting Jon cause he takes FOREVER. I don't really know how we got into the situation we were in but, Jon kept poking me and waving his hand all around while I was brushing my teeth. After a while I told him to be careful cause I had my toothbrush in my mouth and didn't want him to shove it down my throat. Not even 30 seconds after I said that what does he do? Flings his arms in the air and hits my toothbrush, making it go down my throat. Toothpaste and blood went everywhere and Jon starts freaking out which starts making me freak out. It wasn't that bad a first and i brushed it aside. About a half hour later though it was all swollen and red. I couldn't talk, swallow and was just plain uncomfortable:(

Here we are almost a week later and it still isn't better. I have been living off Popsicles, Smoothie King, and slushies. The cold numbs it so I can have some relief for a little bit at least. I thought I was starting to feel better so I tried to eat a piece of pizza but I think I scratched my throat. So, I will now be patient and hope that it heals sooner than later.

There you have it, and next time someone tells you not to play with objects in your mouth maybe they really do now what they are talking about.
