A boy pretending to be a dragon refuses to do what is needed! What's a Mommy to do??
“Dragons DON’T eat broccoli!” he roared.
“But that’s not broccoli,” said his Mommy. “Those are trees!”

The dragon destroyed the forest.

“Dragons DON’T clean up!” he roared.
“But that’s not cleaning up,” said his Mommy. “That’s hiding your gold and diamonds!”

The dragon discovered a cave for his treasure.

“Dragons DON’T take baths!” he roared.
“But that’s not a bath,” said his Mommy. “That’s an erupting volcano!”

The dragon swam in the hot lava.

“Dragons DON’T put jammies on!” he roared.
“But those aren’t jammies,” said his Mommy. “That's your deadly poison armor!”

The dragon swiftly dressed for battle.

“Dragons DON’T brush their teeth!” he roared.
“But that’s not a toothbrush,” said his Mommy. “It's a sword that a knight is swinging at you!”

The dragon bravely fought for his life.

“Dragons DON’T go to sleep!” he roared.
“But you’re not sleeping,” said his Mommy. “You’re pretending, so you can sneak attack!"

The dragon growled and closed his eyes.
