My twin sister,Mary,and I lived together for eighteen years before
we went to college.We'd known each other so much and always
enjoyed shared time.We happily sang and danced together,had
dinner and went to bed together,and discussed the maths problems
and recited the poems together.
But one small thing couldn't be shared smoothly and that's the
trouble with toothpaste.
Crest(佳洁士)made us give in and demanded to know what we were
made of.You see,Mary likes to carefully fold and roll the toothpaste
tube.I like to grab it in the middle and squeeze().I might call her
folding a bit too careful.She might consider my squeezing careless
and rude.This difference in style may seem mild,but it caused the
big trouble in the later days.
At first,it was a little joke.I'd squeeze.She'd roll.Ha,ha.I'd
squeeze again.She'd roll again.Annoying.I'd squeeze even when I
wasn't brushing my teeth.She'd slip in to roll,roll,roll.
After slipping and squeezing, tip-toeing and rolling for two weeks, it
Was unavoidable that we finally met face to face in our tiny pink
bathroom with our hands on the toothpaste. We actually yelled at
each other. I may have even cried Why was she so obsessive(过分
的)?Why wasI so vindictive(报复性的)?Why couldn't she loosen
up? Why couldn't I calm down? Were we still talking about the
toothpaste?
The toothpaste had become more than something to brush our teeth
with; it had become a symbol for aspects of our individual
personalities that we did not always care to reveal, Maybe I was
being a litte vindictive. Maybe she was being a bit obsessive
Maybe it really didn't matter how we dealt with the toothpaste. But
maybe it did.
