... Don't be silly, Magda. What child *chooses* to go to school, to brush
... its teeth, to look before crossing the road?

You said *THE LONG RUN*, you silly doggie.
Unless your lifespan is 24 hours, those are not *it*.

Did Mixi contaminate you or what?

Woof!

My daughter doesn't like to clean her teeth - no idea why, but that's
the situation. In the LONG RUN that means that her teeth will drop out
prematurely, so I make the decision for her that she WILL clean her
teeth twice a day.

Understand now? Or did passively consuming chemicals at the
(non-existent) Techno Parade addle your wits?

She was born as she is.

Or else her parents derelicted their duty and allowed her to make some
ill-advised choices?

(Much like Mixi's, in allowing him to decide to **** all his money away
and end up in a cupboard)

You have already lost your battle - as soon as you are out of the picture
she will stop brushing her teeth.

No, I doubt that.

You have already lost your battle - as soon as you are out of the picture=
she will stop
brushing her teeth. Whatever you do, hers is the last word - even if it's=
bad for her.

That's true in this case. In more important cases, I have the last word
:-)
e=2Eg. vaccination, a la Mixi:

"Little girl, shall I stick this great big needle in your leg and make
you cry?"
"On reflection, Pater, I'd prefer to run the risk of contracting a
fatal disease"

or alternatively:

Jab!!!
"Whaaaahhhhh!!!!"

Ain't parenting great?

Hmmmm....

Me too, but only time will tell.

(I still hate celery, mint and coriander, though!)

The foods I hate from my early childhood were just bad foods! I don't
want to drudge them up again!

The Arabs, you mean. They also gave us the digits themselves.

Those Arabs were Muslims.

Actually the digits we use in our number system probably did not come
through the arabs like the system itself. Their origin is cloudy but
they are likely predominantly of roman origin.

The Arabs meanwhile simply transferred the number system. It was built
in India on Babylonian roots.

Your knowledge of children is evidently on a par with your knowledge of

with no relation to the facts as they are observed in the real world.

How do children manage to cross streets regularly without being run
over, then?

I don't. If your only justification for forcing her to brush her
teeth is that you said so, chances are that she'll abandon the
practice as soon as you aren't there to force it. You must convince
her that it's a good idea if you want her to brush her teeth in your
absence.

One painful visit to the dentist is in general all it takes.

And habit.
