Keenin and Reese have a tendency to mumble sometimes, or just speak really quietly, and I often have to prompt them to speak up. Conversely, they also have the attention span of a gnat, and so whether I may be speaking too quietly myself, or yelling at the top of my lungs, they will often still not hear what I have to say. So, in those cases where I have to repeat myself several times, I'll sometimes tease them and say, "Geez, do I need to buy you a hearing aid?"
Today, Reese came up with her own zing. She asked me a question and I said, "What?" She asked it again, just as quietly as before, and I had to say, "What?" again. Finally, she asked it a third time and I heard her and was able to answer it. Afterwards, however, she proceeded to roll her eyes and say, "Geez, do I need to buy you elephant ears?"
