My husband has hid my supply so I thought I'd come here and see if any of you had any laying around.
I went shopping with my eldest daughter last night at Walmart. It was crowded, but not really bad. I think we got there before most of the folks got off of work.
Anyway, I picked her up at the dance studio, and she didn't stop talking from the time she got in the car, until the time I was finished putting stuff away at home. Please hold me.
I'm not sure, but I think she told me everything that had happened to her in the last year, down to the minute detail. I think I counted four breaths, but I'm not sure. It's kind of hard to tell because she talks like an auctioneer.
I wouldn't admit this to her, but I'm pleased she talks, even though my ears ring afterwards. The way I figure it is that if I keep encouraging it, maybe she'll keep on doing it through the teen years.
But does she really have to follow me into the bathroom to continue the conversation?

LOL!
Does prozac help? Maybe we should give it to them instead of us!

I think girls` brains are hardwired with an imperative to talk...I have four girls, and one of them talks in her sleep, too.....I know, because we are currently having our house electricity supply rewired, and DH and I are a temporarily camping out in one bedroom with the two youngest......

Of course she does! It's where she can get your undivided attention! (And how do I know this, you ask? Becuase we did it to our mom, too! LOL! My mom said one word - payback.)

My five-year-old does this!! I had to laugh about her following you into the bathroom. Chatterbox does that too!

I hear you. Not only do the kids want to follow me into the bathroom...but so does the cat! It's like a party in there sometimes for crying out loud.
I have a bowl of prozac with skim milk every morning as part of my nutritious breakfast!
