So they really DO listen when I talk.

This morning as we were doing our normal rush rush rush to get everyone ready to walk out the door, I was slapped in the face with the reality that occasionally the clowns DO listen to me when I talk.

Here is the story.

I have not been feeling 100% for a few days... just temperature change chest congestion and maybe mild allergies, nothing earth shattering. Well I decided to take a shower this morning and try to loosen it up and see if I could clear it out a bit before starting my day. For what it is worth the shower did not work.

I come back down to the kitchen and Freckles is making her lunch for school and she says to me

"Dad says you were up in the shower laying around while he was bustin' our buns to get ready."

To which I respond,

"I was not laying around in the shower I was actually attempting to cough up a lung and see if I could breathe a little bit better."

Freckles say "Oh..."

In chimes Buzzy "Suck it up buttercup!"

All I could do is look and laugh. It is something that we say to him when he is having a tantrum over nothing. So I guess I know that he really does listen to me when I talk. Why can't he hear when I tell him to clean the toy room??
