For when you're a Tango Guy.
Awake!
Bed made.
Morning.
Small talk, done.
Mmm, breakfast, eaten.
- Kiff... - Ooh, almost forgot.
Mom, hugged!
Kiff, did you brush your tooth?
Oh, I'd love to, Mom, I've just got some things to do.
- What things? - You know, things.
With Barry.
Oh, it's open. Good morning, Chatterleys!
- Good morning, Barry! - Barry!
Ready for things?
You know I am.
All right, have fun!
Actually, Kiff was just about to go brush her tooth.
No, I wasn't.
Ah, the morning brush, I know it well.
Barry, quit it.
It's cool, Mama Cat.
I'll just brush twice tomorrow.
I'm a good kid, you know me.
- No. - No?
Mom, look into my eyes.
I'm just a kid, standing in front of her mom,
telling her I just really, really,
really don't feel like it today.
You know how it is.
Kiff, just brush your tooth.
Mom!
Dad?
I never knew you were this against brushing your tooth.
I'm not, I just... I really don't feel like it
this one time!
She's being so stubborn.
Brush my teeth, I don't wanna brush my teeth.
- I'm not stubborn. - Usually when--
Not stubborn.
Usually when you're this fired up, you erupt into--
A song! Barry, you're a genius.
Hey, maybe you'll understand me better
with a little musical presentation.
Ooh!
♪ I got things, a list of things ♪
♪ It's a checklist of things to do ♪
Eh?
That... was... great, Kiff!
And you can get to all those things just as soon as you brush.
It'll only take a minute!
The thing I'm wondering is, could she not just skip it this one time?
No, no, Martin, you give 'em a hand, they take the whole arm.
- So true. - Mm.
- You're right. - I am.
When you're right, you're right.
Mmm, okay.
Were you thinking Bubblegum Blast or Mango Tango?
I'm a Mango Tango Guy, myself.
Put those away, Barry, I'm thinking.
About... brushing... your tooth?
How not to? Yes.
You gotta brush!
This baby gets me so many compliments.
Compliments? I don't care about compliments,
we've got bigger, better things to do!
I don't hear any brushing!
Oh, I'll brush.
Well, what do you know!
I'm proud of you, Kiff,
and so glad you're not turning this
into one of your little tricks.
Kiff...
Mother.
Did you brush?
I brushed... something.
- Barry? - Mm?
Is the "something" Kiff brushed, you?
Mm... ohh--
Okay, Mom, look, look.
You're about to witness me be so, so reasonable.
Just let me skip...
And?
It'll be so, so reasonable.
Brush now.
But...
Doctor's orders!
Doctor's orders, eh?
So, I need you to explain to my mom
that it's just a minute of no brushing today, no big deal.
Well, if it's no big deal why don't you just brush your tooth?
Kiff, as a medical doctor
who makes several recommendations daily,
I simply cannot recommend not brushing your tooth.
Doctor, we need you!
You know what, though?
There is this one guy I read about, back in medical school,
who was shipwrecked on a deserted island
with no toothbrush or toothpaste,
or hope, but there were apples.
In fact, he ate an apple every day
and avoided medical treatment,
and that's where we get the expression,
"An apple... is nature's toothbrush."
It is nature's toothbrush!
I thought he was going somewhere else with that.
Talk to me, Debra.
I just can't understand why Chadley did what he did.
It was a crazy situation.
That's why I never look at the ceiling.
Ah, Kiff, you're scaring me.
Ah, ba-ba-ba.
Hey, thank you, parents.
- Hello. - Clean tooth coming through. Heh.
Hello.
It's dry!
I used nature's toothbrush.
You're only supposed to use nature's toothbrush
when you don't have an actual toothbrush.
Back upstairs, Kiff,
and this time you need to brush and floss.
Floss? [scoffs] That's not on my list.
In the amount of time you've spent not brushing your tooth,
you could've done both already.
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
I'm really not.
Wait a second, Beryl,
didn't you use nature's toothbrush last night?
I do what I like, Martin. I've been a kid.
I've done my time.
Don't move.
Yeah, that's cool.
I didn't wanna have to resort to this,
but she's left me no choice.
The time has come to...
- Give up. - ...make homemade veneers.
Ven... ven what now?
In layman's terms, a nice, big ol' fake tooth.
And this is a quick mix for a temporary fix?
Or are we-- are we, like, invested in this long-term?
- 'Cause-- - Just trust me, Barry.
Plaster me up!
Ow'sit 'ook?
It's... It's looking.
Whoa!
Well, it does look clean.
But... is it... bigger?
Growth spurt of the dental variety. It happens.
All right, well, it looks like you're ready
for those many, many "things."
- Whatever they are. - Yeah!
She knows.
Ugh!
I don't know what's going on with my mom today,
but this obviously has nothing to do with my tooth.
She's just projecting her obsession with dental hygiene onto me.
And I know I could have convinced her with a song this morning.
It's so weird that I couldn't think of anything.
They usually come to me just like that!
But I just can't think of one today.
For all intense and porpoises,
it sounds like a common case of songwriter's block.
Usually I wake up, brush my tooth, hug my mom,
and then a song just comes to me and then I--
Of course! It's the "Shower Principle,"
the phenomenon where inspiration hits while you're zoned out,
doing the boring tasks you do every day.
I know what's missing!
All I gotta do is brush...
Is it working?
"Kiff, did you brush your tooth?"
Oh, I'd love to, Mom, I've just got some things to do.

You don't have to brush your tooth this morning.
Yes!
But, you'll need to brush your tooth tonight.
Of course, that's only fair.
Which... is now!
A real win for Kiff.
