A lesson in understanding

19 Mar 2008

Had all 4736 kids of mine tonight giving me grief in not understanding me confused

It went like this with two of them....
Daughter says to son loudly "I ain't got none left"!
Son says to daughter even more loudly "You always say you ain't got none left"!!
Daughter says to Son, screeching as only a pissed off hormonal 12 year old girl can "Why don't you never believe me"!!!
So having turned an ear towards this conversation. I decided to tell them about the use of double negatives and how that worked. Not a good idea....
mad

Now no, I know nothing that i don't never not want to know about nothing ever too ok!!! (sob)
Do you understand where i'm coming from?

When this happens in future lost the best way to deal with it is this: just shout even louder than them. Then tell them to shut up!! You will find it works a treat. lol

I mentioned double negatives once and the reply was "Who do you think you are, David Bailey?". Didn't mention it again.
