Repeat the Question

I have a congenital hearing loss, which is now compounded by age-related loss, as well. When the kids insist on asking me questions from the other room while the fan blows and the pots on the stove sing, my response is to repeat back to them what I heard. Even if it sounds ridiculous. That's easier than asking them to repeat, with their invariable comments about my needing a hearing aide.

Mary: Did you say, "Do you like the American flag?"

Peter and David laughed out loud.

"No, Mom. What time does Dad come back?"
