I thought I was the only one!!!! I’m so glad to see I’m not alone.

The white noise of incessant talking. Linley is like a seven-year-old Andy Rooney. “You know what’s weird?” “Do you wanna know what happened at school today?” “Wanna hear this story?”

I am worse than you. I have actually yelled at them when I was trying to hear something on NPR. Or just turned the radio up.

I remind myself that payback is a bitch, and they will be tuning me out as I chatter away about how lousy the food is at the nursing home.

Sometimes I want to just SOB for the tedium of her constant chatter. She recently came out of the Intense Phase of Questions, where she asked me approximately 900 questions per minute (mostly beginning with “why”) and it’s such a relief, she’s down to about 50 questions per minute now. It’s cute when she makes up stories and tells them to me, but gah.

I am proud of myself for not having resorted to duct tape yet (for her mouth or my ears).

I think you hit a chord with your reading public.
You sure did with me.
I particularly like the fried eyeball description. So visceral and so appropriate.

I am not at the pokemn stage yet (tho potty training is just as dull) but boy, does this resonate.
