Why is it that I have to ask my son three times to do something... THREE times - every request..

[Lakitu]

Because it takes three attempts for their brains to digest the information

[tigerlily11]

I gave that up. I just get "in a minute or I'll do it tonight".
It's in one ear out the other.

He must be beetlejuice then

[aka pixi]

I just stand between my lad and his computer monitor or tv screen, always gets his attention lol

[lajohn]

the first couple times.

[logic]

always did in mine wizard,

[firewatch]

I dunno but i have asked three times for the dishes to be done and they are still there, this is my husband , but he should be a kid!

[snagged]

Once to register you have spoken...

Once to grunt unintelligibly at your request...

And once more to ask what you said again...

:o)

[cazzz1975]

its because he doesnt want to do it, I bet if you asked him to go out and play you would only have to ask him once.

[logic]

That's the thing with kids, theyr not stupid, they know just how far you will go before taking action,
so the best policy is to take action straight away,
you should not have to tell them anything twice.

Maybe his brain is fitted with a triple-by-pass.

[abstract]

its in a males genes,any woman would tell you that when she's not in the mood and the man wants a piece she'll have to tell him NO! 3 times...........at least!

[funnygirl]

It is a ploy, they make out they cannot hear you and hope you give up and do whatever it is that needs doing, yourself!!!!

[knobynonuts]

No thats your heart rovi
