Conversation

Last week I received a phone call in the morning after having already dropped the boys off at the school. When I answered the phone I heard Jadon on the other line and he sounded very upset. I was immediately scared thinking something bad had happened or that maybe he was ill. (the stomach bug is running rampant in these parts) Here is how the conversation went.

Me: Hello

Jadon: Mommy.... (sad and upset tone)

Me: Hi darlin....what's a matter?

Jadon: I forgot to brush my teeth this morning.

Me: Oh honey....it's ok. We'll brush them as soon as you get home.

Jadon: No, mommy...you have to come get me and take me home so I can brush my teeth!

Me: Really, baby.....it's ok. You'll be fine till after school.

Jadon: (tone escalating) Mommy I can't be at school with my teeth dirty! Please come get me NOW!!

Me: Well ok....how about I come to the school and bring your tooth brush and you can brush your teeth there?

Jadon: Ok, but hurry.

I think this is the cutest thing. It bothers Jadon if he forgets to brush his teeth. Jonah could go a week and he wouldn't even think about it. I thought it was so funny, because the teacher knows that when Jadon complains about something that it is serious and that she had better act fast or his emotions get out of control. So, she had let him call me from her cell phone in class.
