I didn't like brushing my teeth when I was around 6. Whenever my mom told me to brush my teeth, I'd start the daily argument of "If you put together ALL the times I brushed my teeth and add up all the time, I'm sure i've brushed my teeth enough for tonight."
After saying that enough I actually DID believe it and couldn't figure out why she kept telling me to brush my teeth.
