Don't try this at home (please!)

We were at Hershey Park over the weekend enjoying the last few moments of summer before watching the Irish lose miserably to Penn State (my new mantra: "It's a rebuilding year").
Now, those of you who know me well know that there are a few things that some couples have been known to do that I find horribly disgusting, the worst being sharing something that you suck on. Think popsicles or frozen bananas. Hell, even ice cream cones. For God's sake, just get your own! Or I'll get you one.

But I think perhaps I saw something this weekend that surpassed the communal sucking on of frozen treats.
While in line for a ride, I saw a particularly nice-looking, happy-looking couple with three girls. Quite Cleaver-ish. And I see the woman look at the guy, tell him something and dig into her purse. She pulls out some floss. Apparently he has something in his teeth. Now I'm not really into flossing in public but, look, if you have something in your teeth it's better to just deal with the two seconds of shame so you don't have to go around all afternoon with a big black spot sticking between your incisors.

So, she pulls out some floss, snips off the strand, he opens his mouth, and she flosses his teeth! I suppose it would only be grosser had she then flossed her own teeth, but thankfully she didn't.
