spare toothbrushes.

I am currently at home for Spring Break. A few moments ago, I walked into my mom's room to ask if we had any toothbrushes, because I didn't want to use the one that had been sitting in my bathroom since I was last home at Christmas. We went to her bathroom closet, where she keeps the plastic drawers stocked full of anything and everything anyone could ever need - shampoo, band-aids, toothpaste, razors, q-tips, nail polish remover, etc. etc., and yes, toothbrushes. She told me that we have a ton, because she used to just pick them up at the store to have in case people stayed over and forgot theirs. Between all of those, and the ones that they get from the dentist every time they visit, there were probably about 12 in there. (Crazy, right? Who has that many spare toothbrushes?)

Anyway, she tells me, "I've been meaning to give you some. You should keep a few at your apartment, just in case someone ever stays over and needs one." So I agree that that is probably a good idea, and she hands me a few. As I'm walking out she say, "There, put those with your stuff to take back. Now you'll have them if you need them." I reply without even thinking, "Yeah, this is good. Especially for the boys, they always forget stuff."

As I'm walking down the hall back to my room, I realize what I just said to my mother. By "boys," of course I was thinking about those in the group of Singers that has been known to take part in sleep overs almost every weekend, occasionally at my place, occasionally at others. I didn't even think about it sounding weird, because that's what we call them, "the boys." However, out of context in a conversation with my mother, I'm pretty sure it sounded like, "Yeah, I have all these random boys sleeping over all the time. Better get them some toothbrushes." Awesome.

I should probably clear this up with her tomorrow...
