I was sitting on the toilet in our ensuite tonight, staring into the mirror.
Not my most flattering angle but we’ve all done it when we’re a bit bored. You know... let’s see how much I can look like a creature from the depths of hell while I’m sitting on the dunny?
What? You haven’t ever stared at your face when you’re sitting on the loo and pulled a horrible, devilish face?
Bloody liar.
Anyway, I decided to pull the completely, and most utterly, ugliest expression I could manifest, in the mirror… as most people do from time to time.
What? You haven’t ever done that?
Weirdo.
So it just so happens, at the exact time of my having this impulsive impulse to pull my silliest and most spew inspiring expression in the mirror, my front tooth denture was missing and I looked a bit like an Ork with periodontal disease.
Not only that, but I pulled my chin down so it looked as if I had eight chins and I then I went the extra length and super bulged my eyes, all the while staring into the mirror in gleeful evilness.

I rejoiced in my hideousness.
Because the universe is so serendipitous, it was at this exact moment my husband happened to casually saunter past the bathroom door and witnessed me pulling my most unappealing possible face, ever.
He paused for a millisecond and I naturally expected he would recoil in disgust and sink into the foetal position in fear. I thought he would form the cross with his fingers and start shrieking a Hail Mary and start spraying garlic everywhere.
But he just burst into laughter and tried to pull an even uglier face.
He failed... nothing could surpass my repugnance, but at least he tried.
That’s true love.
