we ate dinner late tonight and ben was REALLY tired the entire time we ate.
as soon as he finished we told him he could go brush his teeth. he was so tired, he looked at us like that was an overwhelming task that he was just not wanting to attempt.
he followed the look up with ....
"well actually, i really like patterns. ya know, like ... one night brush, one night not ... :)"
clever? yes.
do i like patterns too? yes.
but, do i find this particular pattern absolutely disgusting? most definitely.
so did he brush his teeth? you bet.

Hee, hee. Where did I read recently that brushing your teeth is getting the sugar bugs off? Hmmm, can't place it.
This is kind of like when Kieran told me recently that he didn't need to wipe his bottom after going to the bathroom because he had just wiped it yesterday!
ha ha. good thinking ben. olivia pulls out the "pattern" theory a lot too. garrett's usual excuse for not doing something is always that he did it "last thursday." doesn't matter what it was, it always happened last thursday.
Quick thinking, there, Ben. Sorry that it didn't work out for you there. Brushing your teeth is just one of those "patterns" that can't be broken!! :-)
