Willie Wonka and Brushing Teeth

We watched Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory this past weekend. I think our girls liked watching it -- OK, only Phoebe liked it. Chloe thought it was a little weird so she was not so interested and would walk in and out of the room She must have liked part of it because of what she did last night.

Chloe loves chewing gum. We went out to Costco late last night because we had to pick up some things. Su Jin gave everyone in the family gum so that we would have nice fresh breath. Well, as soon as we got home it was a little late and we had to put the girls straight to bed. They started their routine - using the potty, washing their hands, brushing their teeth, and washing their face. They are big enough now that I can get them started and they can finish up on their own. Upon inspection, as I was checking to see if they got all their eye boogers out and all the toothpaste was off their face that I noticed that Chloe was still chewing her gum.

Dad: Chloe, are you still chewing gum??
CJ: Yes
Dad: Did you brush your teeth with the gum in your mouth?!
CJ: No
Dad: So, what did you do with your gum?
CJ: I put it behind my ear
Dad: What?!!
CJ: I put it behind my ear like Violet from the movie.
Dad: Ewwww.... please don't do that again.
CJ: OK, Dad (while giggling).

Chloe may not have been too interested in the movie but she was still paying attention to it.

that's so funny! it's hilarious the things kids pick up on. i wasn't too into Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when i was little, too. (of course, it was the really old version) i thought it was scary.

ha ha ha... i think i did the same thing after seeing the movie/reading the book. tell C the gum will become a big messy clump in her hair. then she'll have to get a bad haircut.
