Being healthy

Mum says I have to brush my teeth

In the morning and at night.

They look and taste much better

But I hate it when she’s right.

Dad says I have to take a bath

And wash my body well.

I do feel nice and clean and fresh

But now he’s right as well!

My brother says I have to wash

My hands to keep them clean.

He’s right, my fingers feel so good

Without dirt in between.

My sister says I have to eat

Some vegetables each day.

She’s right, I have more energy

To run and walk and play.

I feel more healthy and I’ve got

Much better teeth and skin.

Don’t tell them that I think they’re right –

I hate it when they win!
