epitome of incomprehensibility
|
The bottle of mouthwash, unlike my pale-purple Listerine, contained some sort of alcohol and a stronger warning not to swallow its contents: "The consequences will be horrific." I took a small sip and swished it around in my mouth, critical that it was so vague. Why didn't they list the "horrific" consequences? Then I get distracted, watching a YouTube video where a teenage girl is criticizing someone else's words for being misleading. I forget what she was talking about, but I wake up startled, my tongue making swishing motions (or me just thinking that it was). I haven't spit out the mouthwash! I'm going to be poisoned! It takes a couple more seconds to realize the mouthwash isn't real, and nothing to worry about. But it's early morning, and my mind proceeds to bring up real (if minor) worries before I finally fall back asleep.
