She probably has all organic vegan menu flown in with a Beverly Hills blessing to always have perky boobs on the side.

"You know Laurel, that's not what Katy Perry would do."

Holy Shit--it worked!

Lately, Laurel has been obsessed with Katy Perry.  She has been watching all of her videos, behind the scenes of the videos and dancing to all the songs.  While Katy Perry isn't my taste, I don't mind.  I don't think she is going to last more that a few more years.  She seems so processed and fits perfectly into the mold of the minute..."Sweet Girl in Love" then "Pissed Divorcee'" and now "Strong Woman with a Voice" all the while dating Taylor Swift's sloppy seconds and ripping off a Sarah Bareilles song.

So when Laurel just wanted plain spaghetti for dinner (again!), I told her that I read about Katy Perry's diet--she eats a lot of chicken for strength.  (I know I am blatantly lying.  She probably has all organic vegan menu flown in with a Beverly Hills blessing to always have perky boobs on the side.)  But Laurel agreed--while she only ate a bite, it was one bite more than last night!

This could work for so many other things:
Homework:  Katy Perry makes sure that she always does her homework.  Her homework is making sure to know all about her audience and what songs they would like to hear.
Going to Bed Earlier:  Katy Perry gets 10 hours a sleep a night--how do you think she looks so good frolicking with elephants?
Brushing Teeth:  How do you think she eats all that candy from her California Girls video while maintaining a healthy smile?  "You know Laurel, you just can't buy white teeth."

But then again, this could backfire:
Skin Tight Jeans:  "And no Laurel, you are not going to be some one's teenage dream."
Brushing Hair:  "Laurel, I am sure that she still brushes her hair under her blue wig.  And no, you cannot have a blue wig."
Covering Up:  Honestly--I may not have to worry about boobs hanging out especially if she takes after me. But I will remain alert.

But again, we are talking about one bite of non-chicken-nugget chicken!  I am totally going with that.

Now, I lie and wait to see who Rachel starts to emulate.....
