miscommunication

Is it me or is every time you give your child directions they silently must hear “and do it as loudly as you can.”

Example: Please get ready for school… slam all doors as you do it, huff and puff like you’re in Wimbledon, and make sure as you put on your cologne so the rest of the family gags (that means you got the right amount). Oh, but don’t flush the toilet you may wake your brother.

Example: Put on your shoes and grab your backpack…while doing so stomp hard so the house vibrates and scream complaints that have been bothering you while you were sleeping.

Example: Let’s go… but look for the largest toy in the house to bring with and when I reply with a “no” drop to the ground and scream and kick like you’re a ride at a carnival.

Maybe it’s just me…
