Silly bathroom question: Am I missing something here?
I think I usually write about important topics, but I like to share silly things my mind ponders. I think it builds self-awareness. I don’t know how the following situation will seem to a reader, but I hope it reads as it feels to me playing with ideas: being curious.
I brush my teeth after dinner, before going to bed. Sometimes after dinner I also need to poop. I figure this situation is common to all.
When I have to do both, I brush my teeth first and poop second. I figure the order makes sense to all, but basically, brushing teeth seems cleaner so should happen first.
When I think about it, though, after pooping, I wash my hands, so they are cleanest then. If I brush my teeth before pooping, my hands have been getting more since I last washed them. Logically, the cleanest time to brush my teeth seems after washing my hands, which means pooping first.
I mean, I could wash my hands, then brush my teeth, then poop, then wash my hands again, but I don’t usually wash my hands before brushing my teeth.
Am I missing something? Reason seems to say I should brush after washing my hands, but I can’t see brushing after pooping, even though I wash my hands in between.
