“Zachary, go put socks and shoes on.”

Zachary – “I can’t hear you, my ears are clogged.” and walks away.

Mom gives him a swat on the bottom. “Are they unclogged now?”

Zachary – “No”

Mom gives him another swat and heads him in the direction of his room. “Go get your socks and shoes.”

Zachary walks into his room and says – “Oh, Yea, I can hear now.” said with appropriate 4 yo attitude.

The kid cracks me up! LOL
