I came home last night from a very social evening to look in the mirror and find a sesame seed stuck between my teeth. I had eaten some wanna-be-sushi item from TJ's about four hours earlier and that thing must have remained lodged in place ever since. Have I no friends?! Has nobody the decency to take me aside for an awkward moment, to save me from three hours of Food In Teeth Embarrassment?!

I immediately messaged one friend from the evening and asked him to please feel free, in the future, to point out such things. Then I felt awkward for sending it. After all, whose responsibility are my food particles? He wrote back that he hadn't noticed, and, had he, he would have certainly told me.

I don't know if I believe him.

Just for today, I have issues with trust.
