Wow

What we have here is an unassuming stick of deodorant. It is also a testament to my stupidity. I have always hated starting a new stick because that plastic top was SO DARN HARD TO GET OFF. I generally used my teeth. After over three decades on this earth, I JUST figured out to TURN THE BOTTOM!!!!! and like magic, it raises up and releases the plastic torture device -- without cursing and gnashing of teeth. How is it possible I never realized that?!! I'm seriously considering having myself tested for a brain tumor.

If you're ever feeling low, you are welcome to think of me, belly laugh and remember that even though supposedly I rank in the lawyer/surgeon category of IQ testing, I AM A GIGANTIC IDIOT.

I think I just fell in love with you a little bit. This is SO something I would do!

But you're right about one thing- it IS really hard to get off (if you don't turn the bottom). Sometimes it's the simplest tasks that overwhelm me. :)

HAHAHA-this is why you are my friend. Makes me feel good to know that I wasn't the only one who didn't know that. It's only been a couple of years since I found out the secret that everyone had been keeping from me!! ;)

Ok, I never pulled it off with my teeth but pulled it off with my fingers. I never even considered just turning the bottom. LOL!!

I've had such moments --mine usually result in injury. In fact, I recently caught my hot curling iron in my arm pit -- which was freshly sealed with deodorant. The deodorant, I think, actually protected me from getting a much worse burn. It sizzled an bit but whatever. My other hand -- busy holding my toothbrush because I multi task. LOL!

Blessings!

I would NEVER laugh at you about this, since _I_ am the reason they had to put the little sticky-up tab on the top: when it used to be a SMOOTH plastic covering, I would FAIL TO REMOVE IT, cursing my deodorant for "not working---it's like I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY ON."

Oh just wait. When you get older, for some odd reason you begin turning the deodorant dial the opposite direction without realizing it...& you stand there for 30 minutes trying to figure out why your new deodorant ain't workin'.

It just gets better. LOL :)
