Do you think I can wear earmuffs year-round?

Why is it that when children are asking a question, want something or sharing information, they must repeat it - oh 6 to 7 thousand times? And why is it that after the first 2 thousand times, the volume starts to increase to the point that glass could shatter?

I know...I am exaggerating. But let me tell you, when it is happening that is exactly how it feels. In their tiny precious minds, do they really think the more they ask to do something, the better chance they have of me saying yes? Or do they think that if they ask a bazillion times, it will make me move faster to get that 4th cup of juice? I really wonder about these things. I mean, everything happens for a reason, right? That is today's mantra.

So..back to why? Why do they do this? Call me vain, but I think it is to torture me. I think that all the bad stuff I did as a kid is coming back to bite me in the ass. Call it karma, call it what you wish. Whatever...it sucks.

So, do you think I can wear earmuffs year-round? It certainly would be a good conversation starter. Maybe I could meet some new friends.
