The magic of Mary Poppins

Today, the medicine was cleaning up the toys, blankets, etc., and the spoonful of sugar to help it go down was an impersonation of Mary Poppins.

So, the place was a mess from hours of play. I tried all of my tactics to get them to clean up but nothing was working. Then, for some reason, I said, "Spit, spot!" and started talking in a very British accent. The crowd went wild and responded exceptionally well to the nanny-like demands.
Brilliant!
