Rotten teeth=No school

My house this morning...

Eli: "Mom, I don't want to go to school today."

Me: "Eli, School is your most important job as a kid so you need to go."

Eli: "Not all kids go to school all the time Mom. There was this kid who had black teeth and he got to leave school to get silver teeth from the dentist."


So now, I really think Eli is considering drastic action to get out of going to school. Don't worry I made sure he brushed his teeth.
