I can't hear you
Sometimes my parents say things to me repeatedly and I just don't respond. At first my parents believed that I was selectively listening, which really got on their nerves. But they started dropping bombs like, "Isabella, would you like some chocolate?" and I still didn't respond! They started to believe that I seriously had some hearing issues! So Daddy decided to take out my ear wax, and got out some ridiculously huge chunks! Now that my ears are clear, I've told my parents, "Now everything is TOO LOUD!"
