Saliva is the least of my concerns

He scowls at me and then rolls his eyes. I’ve interrupted his Lego building. 

He opens his mouth and I begin jamming the flosser between his teeth.

“You know Seth, some parents don’t give a darn about their kids’ teeth. They’d just as soon let them rot right out of their heads. I don’t appreciate the attitude.”

Riley watches quietly, then says,

“I want to have children, and I want to be a really good mother, but I don’t know if I can deal with saliva and stuff like that.”
