Are They Listening?

Sometimes I'm absolutely convinced that these children are deaf. They never respond to anything that I tell them unless it benefits them. Yeah. Yeah, mom. I know. Payback's hell.

And then something happens to make you realize that yes, in fact they do hear you --- mind you I said hear and not listen to -- and sometimes that's not necessarily a good thing.

These times include, but definitely aren't limited to, when they:

a) Repeat something a snarky comment that you've made about someone - to that person.

b) Tell someone that you're going somewhere not realizing that you had already told that same person that you had other plans to get out of something. OR

c) Repeat a four or six letter word and it's always in class or in front of your most religious neighbor.

Well, this isn't quite as bad as those I suppose but it did make me giggle when I was reviewing Shane's homework. It confirmed for me at that moment that, yes, they do hear you every now and then.

What is it? Well, those that know us will pick right up on it.

Have fun finding it. Click on the image to enlarge it.



I wonder what his teacher thought when she saw it. Haha. Good one, Shane! :up:
