Jack Bauer never had to deal with this.

So what happens when Dad has made plans to watch that violent and sexy R rated movie with Mom tonight and wants the young-ens in bed early so that is possible.

8:40 PM Dad: Ok Time to get ready for bed, go brush your teeth and change.
               Son: Ok
8:43 PM Dad: Go brush your teeth.
               Son: In a minute. I need to finish this.
8:48 PM Dad: It's been more than a minute, now go do it.
               Son: Do what?
               Dad: Brush your teeth!
               Son: Fine you don't have to yell.
8:54 PM The boy wanders out of the bathroom.
               Son: Ok, goodnight.
               Dad: so you brushed your teeth?
               Son: Yes
               Dad: Without ever turning the water on? Now go brush them!
               Son: Ohhhh, my teeth.
8:56 PM Dad hears the water running and momentarily stops twitching.
8:56 PM (still) Son comes out of bathroom             
              Son: Goodnight
              Dad: You brushed them that fast the water was on for 10 seconds.
              Son: Yeah
              Dad: Get in there and brush them right!
              Son stomps back to the bathroom.
9:04 PM Water runs for several minutes. Dad realizes that son is standing behind him watching TV.
              Dad: Get into bed!
              Son: Fine.
              Kisses and hugs and goodnights proceed. Dad notices a distinct lack of toothpaste smell.
9:09 PM Dad wanders into bathroom where son's toothbrush is sitting bone dry.
9:11 PM Dad: You didn't brush them now go do it!
               Son runs in fear into bathroom.
9:12 PM There is flushing toilets and running water and Dad gets distracted by the other older son bitching about needing in the bathroom
9:18 PM Son: Goodnight.
               The boy yet again makes his way to his bed.
9:38 PM The boy runs out of his bedroom, through the house
                Dad: Where are you going?
                Son: I forgot to brush my teeth.
                Dad: What the hell were you doing in there last time?
                Son: I had to go to the bathroom.
                At this point dad's twitching turns into an aneurysm.
                Dad Watches the boy brush his teeth this time.
9:43 PM  Son: Oh dad I forgot to finish my homework.
9:44 PM  Dad drops dead from stress on the spot.
