Me: “Have you brushed your teeth yet?”

Little Miss Thing, age 7: “Yes.”

Danger Monkey, age 10: “No.”

Me: “Well, go do it right now, mister.”

DM: “Hey, where is the toothpaste?”

LMT: “I don’t know. I couldn’t find any.”

Me: “I thought you brushed your teeth?”

LMT: “Sometimes water is good enough.”

Me: “Uh… No.”
