“Brush your teeth now, Molly. I wont tell you again!'

“In a minute, Mummy,' she whined.

“Now,' I replied firmly. It was the same rigmarole every night.

“I’ve done it, Mummy, can I have some juice please?'

“You know juice is bad for your teeth. We must look after them. They have to last us a lifetime,' I told her.
