Pg 149: Grandma's mouthwash
Family
We watch the adults we spend time with.
One summer when I was about 12 years old, I lived with my grandmother on the sprawling estate farm where she was the cook.
At night we both went to bed at the same time in her servant’s quarters, where I slept on the sofa.
Every night I watched her wash her face, brush her teeth, and gargle with Listerine. She kept that Listerine on the top of the medicine cabinet, and she did one more thing -- after gargling, she’d swallow the Listerine!
Listerine tasted awful and here she was swallowing it!
One afternoon, I had a meeting planned with one of the pretty girls on the farm, so I used some of grandmother’s Listerine. Then I discovered why she swallowed it.
The other name for it is Jack Daniels.
