more like my dad everyday

We all know that we will turn into our parents, but nevertheless each step along the way scares us. When we were growing up my dad always had mouthwash - in the bathroom, in his dopp kit, in his office at work, in the car, wherever and everywhere. I don't have mouthwash anywere but the bathroom, but I deffnitely hit that shit everytime I leave the house. I ran out last week, and while I didn't need it bad enough to shell out big bucks at the Teeter, I did hit Target yesterday and am glad to have a fresh supply.

FYI - here is an explanation of the term "Dopp Kit" from Word Detective:

"[T]hanks to a discussion of the term "Dopp Kit" on the mailing list of the American Dialect Society (www.americandialect.org) a couple of years ago, I can assure you that "Dop" or "Dopp" isn't an acronym or abbreviation for anything. According to newspaper accounts unearthed by Merriam-Webster's Jim Rader, the Dopp Kit was first produced by Charles Doppelt, a leather goods designer who immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in the early 1900s. Although it may have been Doppelt's nephew and employee, Jerome Harris, who actually invented the snazzy leather toiletries case, Doppelt was the boss and so the finished product bore a cropped form of his name, giving us the "Dopp Kit." Dopp Kits were manufactured by the Charles Doppelt Company until the firm was purchased by Samsonite in the 1970s, and Dopp Kits today are made by Buxton. The popularity of Dopp Kits was evidently boosted considerably by World War II, in the course of which the U.S. Army issued them to recruits by the millions.

Incidentally, the "kit" part of Dopp Kit is not quite the same "kit" we use to mean "a collection of parts used to assemble a whole," as in "model airplane kit." A soldier's "kit" consists of the standard equipment and personal articles issued to and carried by a soldier on a regular basis.
