Teeth

If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use two feet.

Elizabeth had a sleepover on Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. The deal was that she had to clean the basement on Monday when the sleepover was done (or have her sleepover friend help her before the friend went home).

Anyway, after dinner on Monday Chris asked Elizabeth if she had finished in the basement. Elizabeth shouted, "Not yet," from her room down the hall.

"What are you doing right now?" asked Chris.

"Fighting cavities," yelled Elizabeth.

Well, I was VERY impressed that she went to brush or floss or whatever right after dinner. I whispered to Chris, "Wow. What got into her?"

Chris responded, "Uh, she's sitting in her room chewing Trident gum."

Right after that Elizabeth was instructed to go down and finish the basement.
