Selective deafness

We always say our kids only hear what they want to hear.  They don't hear us when we tell them to clean their rooms, feed the dog or do their chores.  Now, if we said in a whisper that we had candy, they would run us over.  They would ask, "Why are you screaming?"  "Because you don't hear me!"  Yes, I am yelling and I know it.  Eventually we get older and become the selective deaf ones.  So paybacks are fun!.....
