I will just have to move to a more sophisticated level of corruption.

I was talking to my sister last night and she said, ' I've just got to coax the five year old out from under her sister's bed so she can go and brush her teeth. Perhaps you'd like to have a go.'

The phone was handed under the bed.

'Hey gorgeous girl, now do you know why you have to brush your teeth?'

'No.'

'They're really tired and they need to go to sleep. And brushing them is like putting their pajamas on.'

Silence.

'But teeth don't have pajamas.' (Literal translation:you're a fool).

Sigh.Guess that's my bullshitting-my-nieces days well and truly numbered.
