Funny, sure it seemed like a good idea at first. #3’s new fave is to call my name until I say what and then he say, “nuthin’”. Cracks me up! But, I’m sure it won’t in like two days:)

We totally do that with our kids sometimes.
It doesn’t really help.

The Bee~ I think it’s easier when you’re the person doing it and not the one listening.
KathyB!~ Yes, he is.
pBd~ Three days, tops.
Lindsey~ At least it wasn’t mimicking the cry-whine, which my husband does. Like I needed two voices to grate on my ears.

Ink~ It’s amazing my dad made it 30 years on the force with that attitude.
