You know I LOVE having a 12 year old. They really "get" your jokes and start making a lot of their own. I taught middle school and I always enjoyed the kids. Yes, the hormones were wildly out of control, but kids that age can reason, think, and make good conversation....
Well the other morning I was driving Zane to school. I noticed that he probably had not brushed his teeth very good that morning. Having recently gone to the dentist myself, I began to tell him the importance of good dental hygiene. And keeping your teeth white.
He looked very serious for a minute and said, "Can you use bleach on your teeth?, You know like on clothes, just rinse it around...not swallow?"
Me - "Um, NO! It's poisionous"
He thought for a minute and said "Well, my teeth would look great for my funeral"
Well, maybe so Zane, maybe so....
But then I opened up a whole new can of worms when I tried to explain that the mortician sews your lips shut after you die
