After the bath
“I ask, ‘Brush teeth?’ And you say ‘Brush. Teeth.’ I lean over to the sink and find your toothbrush and toothpaste. I say ‘Paste.’ And you say ‘Paaaaste.’ Toothpaste is always funny. I say ‘Brush brush brush,’ and motion with my hand like I’m brushing. Sometimes you ask, ‘Dada brush?’ and I take my own toothbrush and paste and brush my teeth along with you. You say ‘All done’ but it comes out as ‘ahdone.’ Lots of things are ahdone. Dinner is ahdone. Blue’s Clues is ahdone. Brush is ahdone.” Mark Pilgrim
