The thing is I have purposefully asked nicely but firmly 3-6 times for them to get shoes on/bring plates to kitchen etc - with the last firm request clearly telling them that the next request will be At Full Fogs Horn Volume. But still they are cloth-earred. Then I yell - then they look at me in stunned amazement, possibly start to cry, as if they hadn't heard a single word I said beforehand.<br /><br />Yet, like you, if I even whisper the words "who would like a sweet" (jeez I think I could even mime it and they would respond) they are at my side in a second.<br /><br />By the way - been catching up on posts. Fab writing. Really feel for you on the rugby front. Not sure how I would feel about preventing my 7 year old from participating either - although I know he too would put a very brave face on.<br /><br />And gorgeous puppies!!xNicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017352687163694581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-17722884472794996932010-11-08T16:37:09.254+00:002010-11-08T16:37:09.254+00:00Mine have such selective hearing that their teache...Mine have such selective hearing that their teachers have asked to refer them to the health visitor to check their hearing. I duly did so. Nothing wrong with their hearing - they can also hear offers of a Mars Bar at 500 paces.<br /><br />The health visitor did say they get a lot of boys referred for hearing checks. Most of the time there is nothing wrong. So it isn't just ours.But I do have a twinge of sympathy for their future wives.
