Who are you talking to?

Emma: Mama!

Me: What?

Julian: What Mama?

Emma: [something incomprehensible, at the same time Julian was speaking]

Me: What is it Emma? [attempt to clarify who I am talking to and get her to repeat herself]

Julian: It's not Emma, it's me Julian.

Me [to Julian]: I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to your sister.

Emma: I don't have a sister.

hahaha!
I had to read that a few times to understand what was happening... too funny :-)

[Brenna @ Almost All The Truth]

That could very easily have been a conversation in this house, just add one more kid to the mix. :)

[Beate]

HAHAHA! That's hilarious!

[Jona]

Ha! This could totally be my family. Classic!

[se7en]

[Cynthia]

Oh dear! Love it. :)

[Lorie]

LOL That was great! Thanks for the laugh :)

[Carol @ The Lazy Mama]

Hahaha! I only have one kid and it's already driving me crazy. I can totally understand!

[Zoie @ TouchstoneZ]

Lol. I've had the conversation with my 3 many a time-usually in the car. After considering banging my head on the steering wheel a few times, I often end up turning up the stereo.

If safety alone won't convince parents to keep their kids rearfacing as long as possible, conversations like this certainly will. I've noticed a marked increase in the frequency of head-banging conversations since their not facing each other.

I think we've had this conversation at our house several times. :)

[Lara]

Hee! :)

[Alex@LateEnough]

Who IS on first?

[anna ~ random handprints]

too funny! and true :)

[kelly @kellynaturally]

Lol! At least you got the names right... ;)

[Melissa]

Yes, I got called by the dog's name many times as a kid. We also had to number off (there were six of us) after my little brother got left at a couple of places. Classic multikid scenario! Made me nostalgic...

My wife and I will sometimes purposefully mis-repeat our children to mess with them, and they're the ones who end up thinking, "Help me!"

[Shannon]

I have remarkably similar conversations with just one kid.

[Emily @ Baby Dickey]

Ahhhhahahaha, I love it! Oh my, I can hardly wait for those days lol.

[Amber]

Hee!

At least it's never boring?
