Jackson's Big Brush-a-Saurus!

A Triceratops with bright blue eyes looked at him. "Well, young human, don't you know? Brushing keeps our teeth strong and healthy! We need them to chomp on yummy leaves and roar super loud!"

Another Triceratops chimed in, "Yeah, and haven't you heard? Only those with super-clean teeth get to ride the Magical Dino-Flosser 5000!"

The ground rumbled as a gigantic, glittery toothbrush zoomed past, ridden by a T-Rex wearing a party hat. It was the coolest thing Jackson had ever seen!

Suddenly, Jackson remembered what his mom said about brushing his teeth after snacks. He felt a pang of guilt. He'd been so excited about the playground that he had forgotten all about it!

He turned to the dinosaurs, "I have to go! Thank you for teaching me about brushing!" He waved goodbye, ran through the purple door, and straight home.

He burst through the door, shouting, "Mom! Mom! I have to brush my teeth! It's super important!"

His mom was surprised, but pleased. "That's wonderful, Jackson! I'm proud of you for remembering. Did you have fun at the playground?"

As Jackson brushed his teeth (making sure to get every corner!), he told his mom all about the dinosaurs, the Dino-Flosser, and the importance of brushing. He even convinced his pet turtle, Yuna, to try brushing her shell with an old toothbrush (she wasn’t very convinced, but the thought was there).

That night, as he snuggled into bed, Chompy tucked under his arm, Jackson smiled. He learned something amazing today - even dinosaurs knew that brushing your teeth was super important, and super cool! He couldn't wait to tell all his friends at school tomorrow, especially after he brushed them extra, extra well!
