"I love you"

me to Jessica: I love you

Jessica: okay

me: hey Jess, I love you

Jessica: okay

me: Jess, I love you

Jessica (a little more annoyed): okay

me (drawn out): I love you

Jessica: okay Mom, you can quit saying 'I love you' now

me (so happy): oh, you said it. You love me.


a little later


me to Jacob: hey Jacob, I love you

Jacob (annoyed from the start) sighs

me: Jacob, I love you

Jacob groans

me: hey Jacob, I love you

Jacob sighs, groans, and rolls his eyes

me (cheerfully following after him): how do you get me to quit saying it?

Jacob heaves a big exasperated sigh


I'm SO good at torturing them


even later


me to Michael: I love you

Michael: okay

me: Michael, I love you

Michael: okay

me: I love you

Michael: oh

me: hey Michael, I love you

Michael: you sound like a badly recorded MP3 format audio file ... formerly known as a broken record
