Ishaan's clever (?) idea for not losing his teeth

Ishaan does not like tooth-paste. We have tried getting him different tooth-pastes with his favorite characters on it, but he just doesn't like them. I think he has a mental block since he is not even ready to try them.

We have been trying to explain him lot of times that tooth-paste is good for his teeth. But it doesn't make a difference to him. Then today, we told him that if he doesn't brush with tooth-paste, then all his teeth will fall out. He immediately closed his mouth and sealed it. I asked him what he was doing and he responded "I am going to close my mouth.. so the teeth will not fall out."

We burst out laughing. I smilingly responded "If you keep your mouth closed, then the teeth will still fall, but instead of falling out, they will go to your tummy and then a teeth tree will grow in there". He just smiled :)

Silly (or smart ?) Ishaan. He is trying to figure out ways to keep his teeth from falling, but is still not convinced that he needs to use the tooth-paste.
