Rowan’s current goal in life is to not want to have any teeth by the time she’s twenty. Every morning it’s this constant struggle to get her to brush her teeth. As soon as the toothpaste hits her toothbrush, she is overcome with the need to rub, scratch, scratch, rub. There’s something in her eye, in her hair. Her back itches, her leg itches. She has to wipe her mouth, wipe her forehead. It’s enough to make a sane person go bonkers.
Nothing seems to motivate her or encourage her.to just sit down and brush her teeth. She’ll sit there with the toothbrush near her mouth and do nothing.
Parenting a lesson in how not to strangle people.
