This qualifies as pointless, doesn’t it ? Mine is red. ---

Ya know, I have absolutely no idea. It’s probably white with some colors on it. I know I used it this morning, but as long as it’s the kind I like with the bristle firmness I want, I pay no attention to the color. However, I am now concerned that I’m nowhere near observant enough and this question is going to bother me all day, preventing me from completing the paper that I’m supposed to be writing and causing me to fail out of grad school. Of course, then I won’t be a librarian because I didn’t finish that program, but I won’t be able to go back to auditing because I will know that I’m not observant enough and I will always doubt myself and my abilities. Thanks. 😉 ---

My toothbrushes have always been red. On occasion I’ll get a yellow or blue-handled toothbrush, but when I was growing up mine was always red. Now that I live alone it doesn’t really matter, but I’ll probably continue using red toothbrushes. ---

Its turquoise right _now_ , but i buy a new one each month, so I get a different color each time. Never found a black one yet, though. ---
