Is Anyone Listening To Me?

This was me in the car this morning on the way to piano:

"Xanthe, be very careful not to drop your toast.  We don't want peanut butter all over the car."
"Mom?"
"What?"
"I accidentally just dropped my toast."

So...when I told Xanthe to be very careful, did that register at all?  Hello?  Can anyone hear me?  Why do I even talk?  I'm like the parents in Charlie Brown.

I feel like this, too. Sometimes I don't even waste the energy on telling them something that I know they won't "hear:!
