Live Clean, Sweet Pea!
On the edge of the sink in our bathroom stands a bottle of liquid hand soap.
“LIVE CLEAN,” announces the label. Appearing below the brand name, in slightly smaller type, are the words “Sweet Pea.” I choose to read the label – each and every time I use the bathroom – as an exhortation to adopt a generally ethical approach to life, followed by a diminutive and familiar address.
“Live Clean, Sweet Pea!” says the soap.
“I’ll try, l’il dumplin’,” I answer. “I’ll try.”
Then I leave the bathroom with clean hands, a renewed sense of purpose and a feeling that I am well-liked and surrounded by various and sundry supportive items of personal property.
maybe that’s why “aim”, should have been a hand soap instead of a stain remover
THAT. Is funny!!
You know, I think I said the exact same thing to myself the last time I was at your house. Spooky how our minds work.
