Why Didn't You Say Something 'Before' I Started?
'Will you kids shut up and listen to me! '
Okay!
'I mean it! '
Okay!
'I'm not joking.
This is serious business.'
Okay!
'And don't try using that,
*I'm-listening-'but' I'm-not* technique on me! '
Okay!
'Do you hear me?
Do you?
DO YOU? '
Dad?
It's okay.
Mom is the one we like to torment.
She's not home!
Wassup?
'Oh!
Why didn't you say something 'before' I started? '
We did!
We said, 'Hi dad! '
'Oh!
So where is your mother? '
She said we were driving her nutts!
So she went next door to visit Mister Parker!
'Great!
Hopefully they will take at least an hour.
And we can get some peace around here! '
