Listen and OBEY

The other day I walked into the living room, where my poker-faced husband desperately attempted to hold in his laughter. Across the room, my son screeched, body taut, chin jutted out, face purple and stomping in emphasis:

STOP THAT, DAD!!!!!!!!! YOU AREN'T LISTENING TO MY INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
I TOLD YOU TO LISTEN AND OBEY!!!!!!!!

Well, at least we know that after all my careful, gentle teaching, the gist is finally sinking in.

This is so funny, because our family theme for this school year is "Listen & Obey" - to your parents, teachers, the spirit ....

I must say it a million times a day "Jacob, remember to listen & obey" "Jane, are you listening & obeying" - and it really seems to be having zero effect - except when they get mad at each other!

Michael may need a little refresher course on that concept, apparantly...

I can hear him saying it. Totally cracks me up!

Too funny! Kudos to Mike for holding in the laughter. I don't know if I'd be able to succeed!
