--I can see that you made 2 sandwiches
--I can see that you ate one of your sandwiches
--I can see that you are drinking

Very close but this is how mine goes
--are you eating a granola bar?
--are you drinking water?
--are you holding the baby?
--are you feeding the baby?
My question is what do you think I am doing.

OP - YES!!!!

I had a sore throat last week so I would have cough drops. All.day.long. "Ms. K, what you have in your mouth?" and my favorite "let me see!"

[dEHmom]

yes my very own 5 yr old ds.

he can hear the crinkle of a wrapper a mile away

Mine is "what is that", "what are you doing" - all day long.

My answer is to point and say "toys".

Ha! My middle son could hear the cookie jar lid no matter how quiet you tried to be. I remember watching my BIL trying to replace it without being caught. Hilarious.


And yes I have had kids who narrate my life to me. It comes in handy at Christmas because the parents seem to know I like tea.

Here is my dcg

* note that this is the same conversation we have had every day this week, almost word for word.

- dcg: Is that a birdhouse?
- me: Yes
- dcg:Why is it inside?
- me: The string broke.
- dcg: Why the string broke
- me: The string was old...

You get the idea.

The problem is, EVERY conversation with this child is the same. It is like she has Pre-planned conversations in her head that need to go a certain way.

So today, when she asked 'Is that a birdhouse?', I said, 'No, it is a dog house'. She just stared at me. Her little brother said, 'Noooooo, you are just kidding!'

Omg!! I had one like that!!!! Everytime I went in the bathroom he would yell on the other side of the door "are you going to do poopoo or peepee??"!!

oh that would've been funny to see. sometimes I wish my life was videotaped simply to catch moments like these.

I ask, "Am I?" or "What AM I doing?" It seems to be infecting my 4-year-olds in a terrible way.

LOL we have nicknamed it the Captain Obvious Stage. I have survived several. Reminds me that I should enjoy that all my current ones are just babblers or one-worders for now

I have a little girl here who I actually sometimes have to avoid talking to first thing in the morning beyond, "Good Morning." From the second you talk about anything, with anyone, she is there like a steam roller, asking obvious questions and then standing there and just staring at me. and God FORBID another child gets even a second of attention. She is interrupting, steam rolling, and chatting about herself. Much like her parents!

Today, she even asked me what I was typing! Argh!!!! Leave me ALONE for 2 seconds! Play with toys and kids!!!!!!
