That's totally my house, but only when it's something I really need to concentrate on. And I don't even have kids... it's just Pinky, and it's a steady diet of "He's a Swede. You can tell by the jawline. I knew a Swede once and he had eyes like that. Or maybe he was Norwegian..."

(Continue until my head explodes like a Martian listening to Slim Whitman.)

Just laughed out loud at work. And I don't care who stared. Thank you :).

Minus the dogs, that's a lot how watching a movie with my children -- and sometimes my husband -- sounds at my house. If Flora's attention span was any shorter, she'd forget *my* name.
