As a teacher, repeating what I have said over and over is a daily occurrence. The only frustrating part of repeating myself over and over again is when I'm repeating myself because a child was not paying attention to directions the first time. This morning, I can't even remember what we were talking about, but Cronius and I were going back and forth on something I said. He didn't hear me the first time and then was trying to tell me I was wrong about something I was saying. Eventually our discussion ended like this:
"Ms. J. but -"
"Cronius, I'm trying to tell you-"
"but really-"
"Cronius, you are not listening to me."
"I know."
"Exactly."
Everyone in the class bursts out laughing, to include Cronius who needed an extra second to finally figure out that he admitted to not listening to me.
