The Blemish Stick

Sep 06, 2004 14:38

Tomorrow I have to get a new school id photo taken. And today I have three zits -- one bright red, two not so bright. Of course I would have to have a poor complexion for picture day. Would it be any other way?

Anyways, I decide to be proactive and grab my Burt Bee's blemish stick. I attempt to blemish stick my troubles away. Then I loose my coordination and the blemish stick flies away. I watch it hit the mirror, then bounce off the bathroom counter, and land at the bottom of the toilet.

For a minute I look at my blemish stick in the toilet. I'm not sure what can be done. I put on a disposable glove and plunge my hand into the toilet to grab the blemish stick. For a second -- only a second, I promise -- I contemplate ignoring that it was just in the toilet and apply the ointment to my zits. Instead, I reluctantly toss it into the garbage.

Now I'll have a picture forever reminding me of the day I had three zits and the day I lost my blemish stick
