I walked into the bathroom. I took the cap off the tube of toothpaste. I squeezed some toothpaste onto my toothbrush. I turned on the cold water. I brushed my upper teeth and spit out some toothpaste. I brushed my lower teeth and spit out some more toothpaste. I rinsed out my toothbrush. I put the toothbrush back into the toothbrush holder. I put some water into a cup and rinsed out my mouth. I spit out the water and walked out of the bathroom.
