Three daily scenarios in my home go something like this…
Scenario #1:

Me: ” Guys, please remove your socks from inside the couch cushions”
Brayden and Maddox: “insert silence”

Brayden and Maddox: ” insert Nada here”

Maddox: ” huh?”
Scenario #3:

Me: “Brayden don’t pick your nose and eat the boogers”
Brayden: Finger still digging for gold in the nostril…
Me: “Brayden, I said don’t pick your nose and eat the boogers… gross”
Brayden: Finger now out of the nose entering the mouth…
Me: ” BRAYDEN, DO NOT EAT YOUR BOOGERS!”
Brayden: Slurp…
Why do I have to repeat myself at least three times every time I say something??
Seriously? Seriously? Seriously?
Does anyone else have this problem? Or maybe my kids have broken ears?
