New Toothpaste

Every night Ann and I brush our teeth with the kids just before their bedtime.  It's part of their routine and they love it.  Yesterday we tried a new toothpaste - instead of the cocktail of Elmo and Pony 'fake' toothpaste they're used to we substituted Crest Elmo toothpaste.  I know it sounds confusing but 'fake' toothpaste is the kiddie kind to get them used to holding a brush and Crest Elmo is fruity flavored regular toothpaste for toddlers.  Okay, got that straight.  Jacob just stared at his in disbelief.  "Where's Elmo and Pony" he said.  Mason, a little braver, put her finger in and tasted it.  "It's spicy!" she exclaimed and refused to brush.  But we persevere.  Tonight we tried again.  Mason pulled a face and Jacob, sweet Jacob, when his sister wasn't looking, rubbed his toothbrush onto hers to remove his toothpaste.  Honestly!
