There’s a sound for that

CJ and I are having an argument about brushing CJ’s teeth. I’m for, he’s against.

In a fit of anger, he storms out of the room, “Mommy, I’m MEAN AT YOU!”

A few minutes later he walks into the kitchen, a funny look on his face. “Mommy, when I make this sound, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,” he emits a high-pitched squeal, “when I make THAT sound it means I’m not mean at you any more.”

“Oh, ok,” I say.

“eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee“

He gives me a brilliant smile.

And then I have an idea. “CJ,” I say, “When I make THIS sound, BEEEEEEEP,” that means you have to brush your teeth.”

CJ’s eyes light up.

“BEEEEEEEEP“

And he walks into the bathroom to let me brush his teeth.

Just another small miracle.
