Do You Understand the Words That Are Coming Out of My Mouth?

Me: I don't want to hear any more whining! Please use your words!

Lexi: {blank stare}

Me: Do you know what whining means?

Lexi {with enthusiasm}: It means we go to our room!!!

********************************

Me: Lexi, this is the last time I'm going to ask you to get your clothes on. No more arguing!

Lexi: {blank stare}

Me: Do you know what argue means?

Lexi {with enthusiasm}: It means we get a spank!!!



Just raisin' 'em right, folks. Raisin 'em right.
