[OC] Interrupting the Answer

[u/RishtalesComic]

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.

lol my boyfriend does this, but for stuff that is just about to be revealed. Like he pays attention, he just needs all of the information immediately. He’ll pause movies in the middle of a scene and say something like “why would he do that?” when they’re intentionally showing something unexpected or “who is that person?” when they’re clearly introducing a new character. I always respond “I don’t know, let’s watch and maybe we’ll find out” and then 95% of the time they tell us in the next few minutes. Usually immediately after unpausing. Like just have some patience man.
