I Listen to Little Boys & Girls

Kerry Stutzman

Interrupting can be a common problem with little boys & girls.

Listen to Little Boys & GirlsThis is a story from a mom talking on the phone in the car whose children kept interrupting. She said, "I listen to little boys & girls who don't interrupt their mommies on the phone." Of course, they kept interrupting. She pulled over, got out of the car, and watched them while she finished her conversation. She returned to the car and heard "mommy, mommy, mommy."

"This is so sad", She replied empathetically. I only listen to little boys and girls who don't interrupt their mommies." She took a breath, dead silence. She drove all the way home in silence and the kids even fell asleep in the car!
