I never realized how annoying my responses are to Evelyn until she started to use it on me. Recently, when I ask Evelyn to do things for me like go get dressed or put the cushions back up on the couch, she has been using the phrase "no, Sorry!" And she uses it in the SAME EXACT tone and expression I use it on her when she wants a second cookie.

I'm not sure what irks me most, the fact she won't obey or facing the reality that I sound so annoying! :)
