TOOTHPICK

 

People say that experience is the best teacher, they also say that the more you age the more of it you acquire. Some even tell you to listen to your elders or those that have already learned from experience. This is a whole topic along with sayings attached to it as trimmings. Something like “one thorn prick is worth a whole wilderness of warning”.

Am not going to get into this because I don’t have enough time nor pages or words to sum up the whole experience. Today we will talk about just a small part of it as experienced through a toothpick.

Growing up, I had two molars removed, I couldn’t get braces then and I can’t now either, so there are these spaces in between my teeth that were left. This made it very difficult for me to eat meat but as I grew up I found a solution, yes, you know it “toothpicks”

These I carried in my bag, pocket, made sure wherever I sat there was one or two, just in case I needed it. Got comfortable with the whole thing until experience caught up with me.

Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever sat on a toothpick, no really, have you sat on one when you were bone tired and had just arrived home and were super glad to get home and rest? Well, I did, Don’t under estimate the speed at which you can get back up from a full on body and mind set on sitting down with every kilogram in your bones. Here is where the science is at, who said you cannot defy gravity… they need to sit on a tooth pick.

How I got back up can only be referred to as lightning speed. Here in lies the experience. Ever since that day, you will rarely find a toothpick in my bag. Don’t get me wrong, I still use them but am not about to sit on another, I search for them like you would an IED.

Any who, here comes a morsel of experience, you can decide to take it or leave it but experience, experience is one teacher that makes one take a lesson that could be hard to forget in a hurry, if ever.
