Setting: Coastal Motel, early into the night, saddleworn. Hot night, motel door propped open with upright fan. Windows open. There's a party in the rooms upstairs.
(C) is lying on one bed talking on the phone. (A) is characteristically moving compulsively about. (A) pours a drink at the bedside table and carries it with her as she makes a round of the room and her luggage. She exits the bathroom with a proper stir stick. (T) is on the other end of the phone inquiring about our evening.
"...and (A) is stirring her drink with her electric toothbrush." (C) says to (T); (A)now standing at the foot of the bed.
(A) promptly corrected her, "I'm stirring Your drink with my electric toothbrush."
And then she made one for herself, too.
