"That's Ignoring!"

From the back seat...

Maya: "Ky-la"

(nothing)

Maya: "Ky-la"

(nothing)

Maya: "Ky---la"

(nothing)

Maya: "KY---LA!!!"

(nothing)

Me: "Kyla, would you answer her please?"

Kyla: "What Maya?"

Maya(with a stuffed monkey draped over the top of her head) "Is this funny on my face?"

Kyla: "Yes Maya, now pleeeease...."

Maya then breaks into happy repetitious singing...




(and a few miles down the road)




Me: "Look over there kids at those big windmill blades on those semi's. They're HUGE!"

The kids: "WHERE?"

Me(pointing out the window) "Over There! Don't you see them? Look, they are HUGE!"

Colter: "Oh yeah!"

Kyla: "umhmm"

Me: "Those are HUGE and they go way up in the air at the top of the windmills, like the ones we see when we go to grandpa Larry's, and they go around and around way up in the sky, and they make electricity... yada yada yada... Aren't they HUGE?"

Maya (about a minute later) "But Mooo---mmmy, I didn't see them!"




(and a few more miles down the road)



Maya (continuing her happy repetitious singing over and over and over and over again, like a broken record)

Colter: "Ma-ya, stop that! It's ignoring!"

Maya continues to sing....

Colter: "Ma--ya STOP! That's IGNORING!"

Maya continues to sing even louder

Colter: "MA----YA! That's IGNORING!"

Maya continues to sing

I'm driving down the road laughing to myself and wondering if I should tell Maya to stop "annoying" him or tell Colter to start "Ignoring" her!?!
