Jake and Jackie Learn About Oral Hygiene
By Beth Beutler 		  
1     "Jake," his mom called, "brush your teeth and come downstairs. We'll be leaving soon, and Jackie is already here!"
 
2     Jake's mom was taking Jake and Jackie to a symphony concert. Jackie was wearing a pretty blue dress, and Jake came downstairs in blue dress pants and a white shirt.
 
3     "Don't you both look sharp!" Jake's mom said. "Let's go!"
 
4     Jake and Jackie slid into the back seat while his mom started the car.
 
5     "I hate brushing my teeth," Jake said.
 
6     Jackie looked at him in surprise, and Jake's mom smiled.
 
7     "Why?" Jackie asked.
 
8     "It's just boring."
 
9     Jake's mom began to drive out of the driveway. "Well, Jake, I understand that, but if you take good care of your teeth, you'll have lots of benefits."
