Last week I made taco salad for dinner. I have recently discovered that I love black beans, so added them into the yummy salad. After dinner, I had to go and water my plants, and of course didn't check to see if I had anything lurking on my teeth. As I was standing there watering, I noticed that it felt like there was something stuck on my teeth. Just as I was trying to maneuver my tongue to get it out, my new neighbor had come out. Now, I was so focused on watering my plants and trying to get the thing out of my teeth, that I didn't hear him approaching. So when he said, "Hey There!" I was of course startled and just about jumped out of my skin. I quickly recovered and said hi and made polite neighborly small talk for about a minute.
Once back inside, I noticed that the "thing" that had been stuck in my teeth had so kindly freed itself from between my teeth to directly over my left front tooth, and it was the skin part of the black bean. I am sure I gave my new neighbor a great story to tell all of his family and friends about the jumpy girl next door with food hanging out on her front teeth.
