history: had food between my teeth I had a salad for lunch yesterday_comma_ then went shopping at the mall. When I got home around 7pm I discovered I had a HUGE piece of spinach between my front teeth! Did you brush it right out?
current: I did. But dozen of people had already seen it. I was mortified. No one told me!
next: Maybe you could give them a call on the phone and tell them about your feelings?
