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!

My mom says that I have to take a bath to stay clean and be safe from the germs cause they will make me sick and I like to take a bath because mum puts bubble bath in the bath so we stay in the bath for long. My dad says that we should wash our hands before eating food so we don't get a stomach ache from the germs. My sister says that we should eat fruits every day and I like the fruit that we eat. My mum also says that we should cover our cough to stop the virus from spreading and I think they are right.
