Teeth

This short conversation happens occasionally in the morning at our house.

Me: Will, come brush your teeth.

Will: I don't want to brush my teeth.

Me: You have to brush your teeth.

Will: Why?

Me: Because if you don't then your teeth will fall out. Do you want your teeth to fall out?

Will: Then I will just put them under my pillow and the tooth fairy will come!

Hmm, what do you say to that?

He gets that money making idea from his dad. Huh, Joel! I can't remember what he wanted the money for. And, I don't know what you say to that. Good luck, let me know how it turns out.

He's got a point. You could remind him of all the yummy things he couldn't eat if he didn't have any teeth to chew with!

Darcy says to tell him that the sugar bugs will eat his teeth. Then there won't be any teeth left for the tooth fairy.
