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.

Sometimes, kids are just stupid. Hopefully they grow out of it. Fair warning, knowing humans, they probably won't.

Actually, this is something you have to correct and teach them. Obviously this is just a silly comic about a moment of frustration. But in reality, if a kid keeps interrupting you, It’s your job to tell them that you’re not gonna answer them until they stop interrupting. Once they’re quiet and listening then you give them their answer. I also include telling them that interruptions are impolite.
