And this morning we had a very frank conversation…

Ruby:  Mama, you need to brush your teeth.

Me:  I already did that, honey. It was the first thing I did when I got up, before I got dressed.

Ruby:  You need to brush your teeth again because your teeth are really dirty.

Me:  My teeth are not dirty! My breath probably smells like coffee, though…

Ruby:  Well, what are you going to do about that?

Me:  (…) I think I’m gonna drink some more coffee.
