Ye Who Have Ears...

What I said: Please be quiet; I'm putting the baby down for a nap.

What they (apparently) heard: Everyone grab a Wii-mote and start yelling! As loud as you can!

"Quiet," I hiss in their direction. I am feeling so, so protective of naptime.

"Mom," Charlie (stage)whispers, "my instincts say I'm supposed to yell."
