I had a similar experience recently being patronised beyond belief by my 3 year old son. My best mate is due in a couple of weeks, and I was telling Isaac about it last time we met up, "Isaac, Auntie Becca has a baby growing in her tummy" that kind of thing. I got that super-patronising look only a small child can do, and "Mummy is very silly!" as a reply. Absolutely wonderful!

If you give in and answer one question they then pelt 15 more at you and you will never accomplish anything. If you don't acknowledge the first they might just stop. Might. Luckily as any mother can tell you it all fades into white noise after a few years. I have been employing your sister in laws methods for years.

Where the hell do you go with that? Demando just put Daddy in a box." AND: "...proceeded to launch the clock approximately 10 feet in the air. My wife and I sat there in stunned silence while Commando laughed and Demando began asking us questions like a team of reporters at a news conference." This is another post that should be submitted to a parenting magazine ASAP. I'll submit them for you, if you're too busy-- if I get half, or maybe 75%, of the profits. I am serious.
