OK, I've calmed down. I could feel I was going to come off bitchy, and had the chance to turn this around...
Long story short, the boys were being borderline heathens, just goofing off like boys do, and weren't listening well. H told them to listen to what I was asking them to do... They didn't really hear it. H suggests talking about what would make us better listeners (put down the DS, stop txting, etc...). So, I asked if I could add something. I added how we could make someone want to listen more... LIKE, how about greeting someone appropriately, leading w/positive statements, and a pleasant demeanor.
I said it nicely, but he got it.
He's fine now. And, we are communicating fine, and even having some fun.
He gets a pass on this one, only because he still hasn't really slept. I'm ready for the weather to get better!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
