4 going on 14

Let me just say, patience is a virtue, but not one I possess much of. I stay home with my children and by dinner time, I've usually had it.

One particular day, Mady and I had been going 'round and 'round. She had asked me for something, most likely a drink, several times, and I was not moving quickly enough for her. She is quite like me, and was getting very impatient. Finally I looked at her and, in the calmest voice I could muster, stated, "I heard you, and I said 'Hang On'. What do you not understand about 'Hang On'?"

Mady: "Um...on."
