This morning as I was fixing breakfast for my children, my four year old daughter's mouth was moving but I couldn't hear a word she was saying. I couldn't figure out what was wrong and then suddenly I remembered.
"I'm sorry, darling. I forgot to renew the subscription for my whiney ears. I can't hear any whiney voices any more," I told her. She looked at me like I was crazy. Her lips kept moving and her brow was furrowed but still I couldn't hear anything. It was lovely.
About five minutes later, she came to me and in a very pleasant voice asked "May I have some Frosted Flakes and milk please?" I heard every word.
"Wow! You used a really nice voice. I could actually hear and understand you. Thank you," I said.
My husband, observing the situation, thought this was wonderful. "Be careful," I told him, "my subscription for complaining ears runs out next week."

Welcome to Utah Mom's Life Blog
I love spending my days as a mom to my five brilliant, beautiful and busy kids. Once they're in bed, I love rejuvenating by reading a really great book. Our family recently moved to New Hampshire and we love exploring our new home.
Book Reviews, give-aways, stories about my kids and fun things to do--just a little of what you'll find on Utah Mom's Life.
"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will — to your surprise — miss them profoundly."
