Lend Me Your Ear

I have been told I am a "good listener". I guess that's true, at least some of the time. However, after being a mom for 21 years, I have perfected the art of tuning out my children. Here is a conversation that took place yesterday while I was doing some "very important things" on the computer.

Evan: Mom

Me: no response

Evan: Mom!

Me: no answer

Evan: Mom, I'm trying to tell you something!

Me: Okay, I'm listening.

Evan: See . . .

Me: Not really, I was just kidding.

Evan: Mom!!

Do I get points for being honest?! In my defense, I knew that Evan was just trying to tell me that he wanted me to get off the computer so he could use it.

Ha, ha!!! That's soooo funny! I'm impressed that you could multi-task enough to pretend to listen when you weren't. :)
