OC [OC] Interrupting the Answer

This happens far too often with my kids. The answer to the question is right there, often repeated, and I'll even give the answer, but the repeated question gets in the way every time. It's like they don't actually want to know. Maybe they just want to hear themselves talk. I feel like I'm being pranked.

It might help to take time to consider why they might be asking the question. Short attention span? Maybe. It might also be how they engage with film. Some people view watching movies as a social experience. They want to talk about it as it occurs. It might also be that the name is heavily accented and spoken quickly. I was not able to make out the name on the first viewing.
