A few days ago Alec was taking a nap, peacefully sleeping, dreaming of all the wonderful things that 3 year olds dream of when in walks mean old mom who has decided that the young one had slept long enough so I opened his door and started vacuuming hoping the noise would walk him up. Because really- what fun is it to vacuum just to vacuum when you can vacuum AND wake some one up. Well, no such luck. Mean mom lifts shades and turns on all the lights. NOTHING. I walk back in and say ‘Alec –you need to wake up’..NOT A STIR. Well, it just so happens that they were doing road work directly in front of house so I walk into Alec’s room and say (in a completely normal tone) “Alec there is a cement mixer in front of the house” and I’ll be darned…didn’t that little boy roll over and right out of bed. He stumbled into the front bedroom with barely an eye open and proceeded to sit and watch the cement mixer. You tell me…are they born with selective hearing?
Really- I can’t make this stuff up.

I do believe that you have, indeed, proven that they are born with selective hearing!
