Signs Your Kid Hears You

10 Signs Your Children Really Hear What You Say:

  1. You overhear her say to her little sister, “That was really uncool.”
  2. You ask her to do something – twice – and she says, “Dude, I said I’d do it.”
  3. You say, “What did you do at school?” and she answers, “I have no clue.”
  4. She tells her little sister, “I’m going to count to three. One, two…”
  5. She admires herself in the mirror, takes a pair of kid scissors and trims her eyebrows, leaving a gaping hole.
  6. She comes upstairs after playing dress-up and is wearing a massive amount of frosty blue eye shadow. When you see her, she asks, “Is it too much? I don’t want to look like a clown.”
  7. You try to discuss the importance of hygiene. She shushes you and says, “People will hear. Please be quiet.”
  8. She apologizes for screaming at you and says, “I know that wasn’t nice.” (Gee, you think?)
  9. She asks about someone’s pregnancy and then says, “Did they put a penis into a vagina?”
  10. She tells her friend, “Those are the rules of this house.”

This is really cute, Roxanne. #6 is my favorite. I can't believe that really happened. It's like something out of a sitcom. OK, a "Who's the Boss?" or "Rosanne" type of sitcom, but still, it's something that Hollywood writers would get paid for.

And, all these years, I didn't know that I should be calling you "Roxy."

Please tell me she wasn't asking about MY vagina!

Christine, I prefer Rox or Roxanne, but I allow my close buds (i.e. Gabrielle, who is French Canadian) to call me Roxy because it sounds very sweet coming from her. :)
