"What's five times six?"
"Pardon?"
"WHAT'S FIVE TIMES SIX?"
"Thirty"
"What's four eights?"
"Pardon?"
"Pardon?"
"WHAT'S FIVE TIMES SIX?"
"Thirty"
"What's four eights?"
"Pardon?"
"WHAT'S FOUR EIGHTS?!"
"Thirty two"
"Thirty two"
And so it went on. After every question I asked, she said "Pardon" and I repeated it.
Eventually I got fed up of it:
"What's going on? Why do you keep saying "pardon"? Are you playing for time?"
"Pardon?"
"WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?"
"I've got my earmuffs on!"
Fair enough!
"Pardon?"
"WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?"
"I've got my earmuffs on!"
Fair enough!

Oh dear, thanks for the giggle.
Ha ha ha. Got to love it!
I still think she might have been playing for time, ear muffs or no ear muffs!
Funny post.

I thought - playing for time - too.
Lovely post. However, I am now competing with earphones, rather than ear muffs. Oh the joys of parenting!

Great! At least she had a valid excuse. In our house, it is usually me asking, 'Pardon?' as my son mumbles in a teenage grump something incomprehensible. And I have another two years to go until he is 13...!
Haha, remind me of my wee boy. He constantly says "pardon" whether he hears me or not.
