"Daddy?"

"Yes Mendy?"

"I don't want to brush my teeth today."

"Why not?"

"I don't know. Just don't want to."

"Well, I'll tell you what - I'll make a deal with you. Okay?"

"Okay. What kind of deal?"

"You only have to brush a few teeth if you want."

"Which teeth, Daddy?"

"Which ones? You decide. Only brush the teeth you wish to keep."

And with that begins a new day in the Zucker household.

BTW, here's a picture I took of my twins (Mendy is the goof) with Paul Konrad of WGN-TV.
