Because clearly a fundamental communication error is occuring, otherwise how would my children translate
“please put the clothes you don’t need into a pile in the hall so i can take them upstairs”
into
“please kick my clean washing across the kitchen floor and liberally sprinkle it across the hallway where we can all walk over it until mum washes it again.”
Is it me?
No, not you. Or if it is then it must be me too because C translates me asking him to put dirty clothes into the basket into leaving his pants on our bed, socks in the bathroom, top on the stairs and jeans on his pc chair!
Hmm, you think Babelfish may help? must give that a try because the exact same thing happens in our house (even if I place said washing directly into childs waiting arms), I thought it was a boy thing, lol!
No its not you, its the problem of ‘Adult’ needs translating to ‘child’ apparently they are completly different languages. ;0)
If you find a handy online supplier of babelfish, please let me know…
sigh, I can’t train the other adult of hte house in that skill, I hope NO hope for the child….
No, not you. Or at least, certainly not exclusively you!
