Annie's got this new thing she does while you're reading to her. Instead of just interrupting every time she has a sub-story she wants to tell in the middle of the actual story you're reading she'll just say 'Mom, pause yourself.' And then she'll start in on how Dora really needs to stop talking and living with all those animals and she should really only talk and live with people like we do. Then I'll lose my place because I'm so enthralled with the sub-story that I'll forget which page I'm on and get all confused.
I think I'm going to start this in other aspects of my life. At work when the boss is assigning me more work, 'Boss, pause yourself.' Then I'll ramble some crazy talk and walk away and he'll forget that he was trying to increase my workload. It works for Annie!
