If I don't write this down...

Long story short:

Sometimes, I hit the point where I cannot possibly handle any more whining. I just need 5 minutes or 3 back-to-back questions that are spoken in English without the whiny twang.

Cora: Mommy, I want a [honestly, I don't even remember which "I want" this was... it could have been wheat thin, apple juice, water, candy, Daddy, the TV turned on, to stand next to me even though I had hot things on the stove...]
Me: Cora, can you please ask mommy a question without whining just one time.
Cora: Why are you talking crazy at me?

?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!
Where did she even hear that!!!
