Why isn't screaming an Olympic sport? I could win that medal.
Q1: How many times do I have to nicely ask the children to play downstairs so I can work?
A1: 4,500,209,128.
Q2: How many times do I have to scream at the top of my lungs telling them that no, nothing they need from upstairs to play "cat and ninja warrior" is at all important enough for them to race like herds of elephants up the stairs and then start screaming all over the upstairs, and they are DONE and they will GO THE HELL DOWNSTAIRS NOW!!!!!!"
A2: Apparently, only once.
