Shower of Giggles

Soooo… staying out at my brother’s house has turned me into an over-relaxed slug (that is, of course, aside from my stint of eruptive anger directed at my former yesterday). It is a nice sensation, I must say, this slugness.

My brother and his wife have an amazing master suite, complete with an enourmous jetted tub and glass-door-encased separate shower. I like the combo. I am intimidated, however, by the glass door as it requires squeegeeing after use. I can’t quite seem to get the thing spotless. I fear I will never be asked to tend house again, since my glass squeegeeing skills are remiss.

At any rate, my brother and his wife are quite a bit taller than me so things that are at my eye level would not be at theirs. My sister-in-law is a licensed hair… ummmm… person. (I am lacking the politically correct term here. I know it isn’t “beautician” nor is it “barber.” Hair Cutter sounds just plain stupid and she does more than that. I have heard Hair Stylist, but she does more than that too so I will just go with Licensed Hair Person.) Therefore, she uses really cool, professional hair products. Their shower has three shelves in each corner opposite the entrance. Each shelf has a fancy hair product bottle – aside from the highest shelf which has my brother’s “man body wash.” Who knew!

Each time I have stepped into the shower, I have turned around and found myself at eye level with a bottle of Matrix Biolage Shampoo. It smells yummy! But what’s better is the label… this is what makes me giggle. It reads Hydrating Shampoo in seven different languages…

Yeah. That sixth one is the one that gets me every time! In case you are wondering what the TWENTY-THREE letters are, they are: FEUCHTIGKEITSSPENDENDES. Since I don’t speak German (and I am only assuming this amazing word is German), I have a hilariously good time trying to sound it out as I lather, rinse and repeat.
I have come up with FEWK-TEEG-KITES-SPEND-END-EZ. I’m not sure where to put the syllabic stress, but I certainly have had a grand time dancing around and singing that word.
