MEG'S NOT DEAF ... or is she?

It was time for Megan to brush her teeth before heading to bed. I know this, because I had already asked her twice to do so. She had just found her baby doll that pees about 10 minutes earlier, and had to give her a drink so she could pee in her potty chair before turning in for the night. Perfectly understandable, and yet ...

Me: Megan, it's time to brush your teeth.

Megan: I know, I know. I just need to give my baby some water and let her pee.

Me: Now is not the time for that. It's time to brush your teeth.

Megan continues to give water to her baby doll.

Henry: Meg, did you hear what Mom said?

Megan: I heard her! I'm not deaf!! Wait, what did she say? Brush my teeth?
