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."
Just came across your blog and clicked through the archives to this post - I always love to see where peoples blogs began! :-) This made me laugh out loud! Will have to try and remember it for when my little guy gets older (and for hubby too! Hee hee!).
